Thoughts on the Texeira vs Smith fight? A lot of people are outraged that the corner didn't stop the fight. Bisping went as far as to say that "We (MMA) need to catch up to boxing in terms of stopping fights."

I'm always a bit confused when the corner is in the firing-line for not stopping a fight. Is that not the ref's job? I think there are exceptions, like when Rocky Pennington told her coaches she didn't want to go out for the 5th round against Nunes - stuff that the ref doesn't know about. Smith didn't ask his corner to stop the fight and the ref knew that his teeth were being knocked out too (Smith even handed the ref one of his teeth mid-pummelling).

I'm not saying that it was a good decision to let the fight continue on to the 5th round, but why is the corner getting all the heat for it rather than the ref?!
