The fight became a topic of discussion in the MMA community as many objected to how the bout ended. Fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the contest.

One fan disagreed with the stoppage, arguing that Woodson was getting back up on his feet.

"Stopping a fight when someone is standing back up is criminal."

Another individual described it as the worst fight stoppage they had witnessed in the sport.

"Worst stoppage I've ever seen."

But not all the responses were negative. There were some who defended the stoppage, saying that Woodson was not doing enought to protect himself.

"He take 12 shots to the head without defending himself."

"50 shots unanswered in the last minute, didn't defend himself on 30 of them. Would have been funny if the [referee] had let him fully step up at the end there and get the uppercut from Ige to actually knock him out though. If he's fine with taking brain damage, let him."
