I thought it was an early stoppage too, but after they replayed it, it looked like Chiesa went out / limp. I think the ref caught it immediately and stopped it..
Assuming that's an early stoppage, what's the actual criteria for stopping a fight off a choke if they don't tap? Should he have waited a few seconds longer? Do you have to be totally asleep or something? Honest question.
(Irregardless I think Chiesa was fucked - and I was rooting for him)
edit here's the stoppage:
