UFC Fight Night 65 had plenty of finishes, and some questionable refereeing and cornering in the main event.
Stipe Miocic overwhelmed Mark Hunt to get the fifth-round TKo even though it could have been over arguably much sooner. Robert Whittaker had an impressive KO in the co-main event and Bec Rawlings and Alex Chambers also had impressive finishes.
See how the pros reacted to all the chaos in Australia below.
Tough Main Event to Watch?
That was fun.

Miocic’s 361 total strikes to Hunt’s 46 represents the most lopsided strike differential (315) in UFC history.

Nobody can ever question the heart of Mark Hunt. But we can definitely question the refs officiating skills.

Stipe proved his call for a tittle run…while the ref is not worth his weight in gold or silver. #prideneverKNOWShowtodie

Why did Hunts corner say “You’re doing good, stay strong”
— Cub Swanson (@CubSwanson) May 10, 2015
Does his corner have a towel? C’mon.
— Coach (@CMPunk) May 10, 2015
Apparently the ref told them in the locker room that he wouldn’t stop the fight while both guys still had a pulse. #UFCAdelaide

Mark Hunt is the polynesian demigod of violence and he should have a shrine built for him.

Not sure what the point of this continuing is at this stage. He actually looks a different nationality at this stage.

Stipe rules. Hunt rules. Hunt is super tough. Stipe is relentless.

A cornered Fox is more dangerous than a jackal. Hunts still in this! #UFCAdelaide

Breaking Through
Given that Whittaker has Mortal Kombat on his trunks, safe to say that was a flawless victory with a fatality. #UFCAdelaide

WOW!!! Whitaker is LEGIT!!!! Looks better every fight. @UFCFightPass
— Dana White (@danawhite) May 10, 2015
I wouldn’t bet against Tavares but Robert Whittaker sure proved me wrong. Great left hooks #UFCFIGHTPASS
