He was shaking his head and running away with his opposite hand covering his face. That's what fighter's do when they're done. The next action after that is usually taking a shot as they're going down to turtle and wait for the ref to stop it. That head shake wasn't a "that didn't hurt me" shake, it was him telling both Gaetche and dead that he didn't want any more. It's not like he was pinned against the fence with nowhere to go and he was moving to reset. They were directly in the middle of the cage and he retreated to the fence then ran away from Gaetche along it with no intention of either resting or resetting. Good lord he took some punishment.

As a fan of him, it was a good stoppage. He was hurt, he proved that he is absolutely the TOUGHEST guy MMA has ever seen. But, he just makes a ton of mistakes and gets hit a lot during every fight.

Without taking anything away from Justin, Tony did look slow and sloppy for some reason...
