I don't fault them for not stopping the fight. As far as they knew, all he had was a busted nose and a swollen cheekbone, both of which fighters are expected to fight through. I don't remember a point in the fight where I thought it should have been stopped, because Perez wasn't really visibly hurting him to the point where it looked like he would KO him, and Magomed was always firing back.
