Overview

• Crosbie says he was restarted after roughly 45 seconds instead of receiving up to five minutes following an illegal knee from Taiyilake Nueraji.
• The foul opened a large cut and resulted in a two‑point deduction before Nueraji finished Crosbie by first‑round TKO moments after the restart.
• Crosbie wrote that he felt concussed and did not remember a doctor entering the cage, later being told he had been assessed.
• Reporting notes that MMA rules give the ringside physician up to five minutes to evaluate a fouled fighter, do not guarantee the fighter five minutes of rest, and direct referees to resume once the doctor clears continuation.
• Media coverage highlights broader criticism of officiating in Shanghai, including coach Ray Longo calling a Herb Dean decision in the co‑main event a "horrible call."
