Ortiz won

From the site:

"In the UFC 61 co-featured bout, it may be safe to say that the feud between Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock is far from over as Ortiz made it two in a row over his longtime rival, stopping the UFC hall of famer with a series of forearm strikes just 1:18 into the first round.

The bout was not without its share of controversy though, as referee Herb Dean’s stoppage drew loud boos from the capacity crowd and prompted the Las Vegas police to enter the Octagon to keep an irate Shamrock from getting at Ortiz.

“Look at my face,” said Shamrock, 26-11-2 who stated his case to fans after storming from the Octagon. “See, no marks.”

But despite the protests, there was little doubt that the stoppage was just, after Ortiz landed five consecutive forearms on the head of Shamrock, who was not defending himself.

“I was just doing my job, dropping elbows,” said Ortiz, 15-4, the former UFC light heavyweight champion. “He wasn’t responding or defending himself and Herb Dean did his job.”

Shamrock looked to get the job done himself as he came out throwing heavy punches as he bulled Ortiz to the fence. But once Ortiz got his bearings, he picked Shamrock up and slammed him to the mat, leading to the fight ending series of strikes."

UFC doesn't want to take blame publicly, but Herb dean made a major mistake. Ken probably would have lost any way 95% sure of that, but at least LET HIM lose. It wasn't 5 elbows, 4 landed and after 3 herb dean started to move in and stop it. It was about 3 seconds worth. Shamrock could have survived the flurry and you never know, we could atleast have had more fight, a clear winner. It was a REALLY bad mistake on Herb Deans part, I don't think we'll see him ref a big match any time again soon.
