What is a "stoppage"?
A stoppage is a term used in combat sports to describe the end of a fight before the scheduled time due to certain conditions. This can happen for reasons such as one fighter being unable to continue due to injury, a knockout, or the referee determining that one fighter is no longer able to defend themselves properly. A stoppage can also occur if a fighter violates the rules or if the fight becomes unsafe. In some cases, the fight is stopped by the referee, while in others, the decision may be made by the medical team or officials.
