My stream wasn't great, but after the fight ended he didnt look at all bad? I think if given the minute he would have been okay to continue...I dont really see the point in stopping a fight with one second left, surely he could said nope your fucked at the end of the break? (question: do refs actually know how long is left?) Didn't seem pissed about the decision though.
I'm sure Cole knew it was near the end of the round, but I doubt he knew there was only one second left. He saw Hasegawa defenseless and getting pummelled against the ropes and he stopped it. I loathe Cole, but he made the right call here.
