There are others who believed the stoppage was justified.

Taking to his Twitter account after the bout, Rozenstruik admitted he’s disappointed by Dean’s decision.

(1/2) Hi everyone. I'm kinda confused on how the fight went and I'm disappointed that it was stopped. It definitly was a troubling situation, but I was far from giving up the fight. Did someone lay flat on the ground with his eyes shut? That's what we call a knockout. #UFCVegas56
