As an athlete you are taught to "play to the whistle".. Look at a fight like Pete Sell vs. Scott Smith where Drago landed a vicious body shot and it looked like the fight was over.. When going in for the "kill" Smith caught Sell on the button and KO'ed him.. Then a fight like when Brian Stann beat Doug Marshall for the WEC LHW belt.. Stann hit him on the button, dropping Marshal, and stopped to raise his hands thinking it was over, but the ref hadn't stopped it at that point so he then had to go in for the kill.. You never know in combat sports and as I said earlier, if anything it should be on the ref cause all Hendo did was "play to the whistle"..
