I was thinking similar and as J_Undisputed mentioned a much more definitive take charge ref helps avoid much of it. Once the ref gave instruction that was not followed and altered fight control was lost. Then he counted as to second guess him self while also indicating a foul

I say deduct point on foul and allow time to recoup, NC if unable. But shoe on the other foot and it was Ortiz or a guy far behind we've seen guys try to milk a DQ win and play act on the canvas. All starts with ref and they need to be scrutinized as much as judges, more so really.
