I think the stoppage and stand up with a point deduction against Lesnar was premature.
Ya, that's kind of petty of them. Some might call it smart business but I think that's a little extreme.

I didn't think the stoppage was premature. The point deduction was but it didn't affect the result in the end. The stoppage was warranted since the shots to the back of the head are illegal and can be treated the same as a groin strike which can also call for a pause in action. If the ref had allowed the action to continue and just gave a verbal warning then a fighter could gain an unpenalized illegal advantage from such a maneuver.
