Daniel Cormier and many others in the MMA community were not pleased with Billy Ray Goff's corner after his TKO loss to Ty Miller at UFC Fight Night 284.
After Goff (9-5 MMA, 1-3 UFC) got battered for two rounds by Miller, there was reluctance to start the third round of the welterweight bout at Meta APEX in Las Vegas. Goff's corner sent him out, and almost immediately he got smashed with a huge punch by Miller (8-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) that sent him flying back to the cage and folded into the canvas at the 0:15 mark of Round 3.
UFC Hall of Famer Cormier, who served as color commentators, immediately threw criticism at Goff's corner.
"You could see his orbital bone is broken – look at his eye," Cormier said on the broadcast. "Look at his right eye. And then when he got hit on the right eye he went down. The coach told him, 'Don't engage, just circle' and essentially run. Why not just stop the fight? ... The writing was on the wall, especially if that's the advice you're giving your guy going into the third round."
Many others in the MMA community agreed with Cormier's take on the result.
