Anthony Johnson added another head kick knockout to his highlight reel on Saturday night, but a slightly quick stoppage by referee Mario Yamasaki had some feeling that Charlie Brenneman didn't get a fair shake to continue. However, Brenneman's trainer and manager Mike Constantino, in an interview with MMAJunkie.com, says Brenneman's camp doesn't have a problem with the stoppage. Said Constantino:
"Honestly, none of us have a problem with it... It wasn't going to get better from that point. [Brenneman] got hit with a bad shot. He was evidently rocked getting up before Johnson hit him, and once Johnson hit him – the ref's job is to protect the fighter at all costs, and as [UFC president] Dana White said, I'd rather it be an early stoppage than a late stoppage.
I would have hated for him to get hurt and Johnson jump on top of him because whether he was out or not, it just didn't look like he was going to get better any time fast. He could have gotten a lot worse, though. So I don't have a problem with it."
