UFC 264 is already one of the most controversial and entertaining cards in UFC history! In the first contest Sean O’Malley, who was originally supposed to face Louis Smolka ultimately drew Kris Moutinho as a last minute replacement. You can watchalong UFC 264 HERE.
O’Malley Vs. Moutinho was very competitive in spite of the circumstances. However, O’Malley landed a staggering and whopping eight percent of hits thrown. As it looked like the fight was going to go to the distance, O’Malley managed to win via TKO with thirty-seconds left to go in the last round.
This was due to the stoppage of veteran referee, Herb Dean, who many fans called either crooked or stupid with his decision. However, to say that Dean’s decision was an unpopular one is an understatement to say the least.
UFC commentator Joe Rogan stated he ‘didn’t understand’ why the match was stopped and why Moutinho wasn’t allowed to finish the bout with such a small amount of time to go and staying in the matchup all fight long.
Joe Rogan made this ‘surprising’ WWE drug claim not too long ago. Meanwhile, MMA insider Ariel Helwani proclaimed the following on social media via Twitter: “Fight should have ended at the end of the first if the damage was a concern. There were 30 seconds left. Bad call. And it did Suga no favors. Of course, that should not be the concern of a ref but it’s a byproduct of the ultra questionable decision.”
Herb Dean just proved UFC is rigged
