Oh, and everyone was talking about James cauli ears ... was it that bad ?

I don't think it was a fair stoppage. JT had Kimbo in an on-top crucifix against the cage for a whole minute, pounding on him, and the ref didn't stop it. But when Kimbo burst JT's ridiculous cauli, the fight was stopped shortly after. Saying that though, JT did look a bit 'rocked' at the time of the stoppage, but no more 'rocked' than he had been previously in the fight IMO. But, it's all subjective, so who knows?
JT's cauli was seriously fucking ridiculous. Before the fight it looked like something had kidnapped his ear and painted 'please hit me' on it. It didn't look like it was calcified either, so two minutes with a hypodermic before the fight would have done it a world of good. Why they didn't attempt to drain it before the fight, I have no fucking idea. It was asking for trouble right from the start.
JT was funny in the post fight interview, though. He is a good guy.
