UFC Quick Quote: Herb Dean doesn't make sense

"I let them [Gabriel Gonzaga and Mirko Cro Cop] stay on the ground for the majority of the round. Gonzaga did good work, but you need to try and finish the fight. Holding a guy down and lumping him up is not enough. He never posted, nor did he attempt to pass. I figured it was time to stand it up. There was enough time left (in the round) for something to happen. And something did."
