Ask the Fight Doc: You think the ref should have stopped Rousey-Tate sooner?

The day after Ronda Rousey scored an armbar victory and won a title from Miesha Tate at Saturday's Strikeforce event, MMAjunkie.com medical columnist and consultant Dr. Johnny Benjamin took to Twitter to discuss the fight.

Most notably, he explained why he thinks a referee should stop a fight due to a deep submission hold as quickly as he would for a TKO.

Dr. Benjamin thinks it's a way to improve fight safety, though some folks - including MMA fighter Dr. Rosi Sexton - believe it would comprise the integrity of the sport.
