Looking at it again, I think kimbo fell down more than he was knocked down initially, bad balance. Notice he caught on all fours and immediately went to stand back up. But he was getting pounded by shots on top of the head and around or behind the ear. Those got him.
He didn't have the skills to get out of that flurry and likely looked glazed when he rolled over and had no form going to protect himself, so the referree stopped it.
MIGHT be just a tad quick on the stoppage, but if so it evens out that last fight where the ref should've stopped it multiple times when he was pinned against the fence and didn't.
