Watching the replay, when you combine the fact that Sonnen was rocked already from the (legal) knee, got up again, and was knocked to the ground again, in totality, it wasn't going to take much for there to be a stoppage afterward. IMO, I didn't think Sonnen was going much to intelligently defend himself, and a lot of those latter hits were connecting pretty well. Still, even if the stoppage may have been slightly early, looking at Sonnen during that (last) encounter did not give me any reason to believe that 5-10 extra seconds would have changed anything.
