😬 DANA WHITE REACTS TO HORRIBLE REFEREE STOPPAGE IN BOBBY GREEN FIGHT

Dana White says the late referee stoppage in the Jalin Turner vs Bobby Green fight was one of the worst he’s ever seen.
#DANAWHITE #MMA

[@Jamie-qb2zr]

16 unanswered strikes, while belly down, fucking wild

[@Amar-cb6sh]

He was unconscious on the first strike also

[@Bryan48950]

*19 after Bobby dropped. Crazy.

[@raphk9599]

He was out, then knocked out again. Then started convulsing.

[@Conda17]

Pretty sure if we had a decent angle that green was ko’d 4 times

[@GertselShatz]

15 strikes unanswered after the knockout give or take +\- 1 was insane. What’s even more crazy is if you look at those first few ground strikes, you can almost see the spirit of Herb Dean baseball sliding in for the stoppage around the 3rd/4th strike. The man was buffering and I guess it happens but that was one of the most horrible late stoppages I’ve ever seen.

[@wewwew-vj2uz]

That refs motto is "If you breathin. You ain't leavin. Hats off to the ref for not letting bobby miss out on his chance to enter Valhalla.

Lmfao he called out yamasaki again

[@SergioMendoza760]

Can you blame him? Yamasaki was a fucking nut job honestly with the way he wouldn’t let some fighters get all but killed in the octagon.

[@BareKnuckleBrawls]

At this point I think Yamasaki is better known amongst the younger MMA community for Dana white calling him out more so than his actual career as an MMA referee.

[@benspagnuolo7653]

Surprised he didn't throw an insult to Mazzagatti in there too 😂

[@ClanDarkassasins]

Yamakakis legacy will live on!

[@SuperHoodCat]

“You’d have to ask the ref” MAYBE WE WOULD IF WE COULD. REQUIRE THE REFS TO ANSWER FOR THEIR ACTIONS

[@eugenescherzinger4395]

I think refs should 100% have to answer to the media at the post fight presser

[@Kingx90]

Valid

[@Ermac_______________________69]

Also the judges, all of em need to answer for their decision, good ones and the bad ones.

[@SavingPrivateBob]

I'm surprised he was so understanding. All the sociopaths on the internet calling us soft for not being okay with that too. Fucking crazy

[@cherb7071]

He’s actually a solid ref, everyone makes mistakes, Dana knows that and knows he’s already getting backlash from the internet, why add to it

[@jarvismane6700]

@@cherb7071Doesn't matter how solid of a ref he was, allowing someone to take that many unanswered strikes can end up killing the person. I've seen plenty videos of people getting KOd and then continue to get hit until they start seizing up. There's never been a death in the octagon, at least the UFC octagon. That ref almost ruined that streak with his incompetency. And before you ask, no, I couldn't do any better. Because I'm not a ref who is supposed to have training and know his stuff.

[@TheChromePoet]

So Bobby Green's fighting years has just been reduced by 10 fights in one night. 😢

Man forreal, sad to think how one referee can potentially cost a man his career and future health.

[@codyschexnider3863]

Bobby green got some much needed humbling

[@RetroEcoChicken]

typical....... this was a "late stoppage" but juri vs alex was a "early stoppage". people need to give these refs a brake, everything is a early or late stoppage........

[@shatner99]

Also, there is no “code” like in NHL where a guy down means stop throwing them. I find it really hard to understand why fighters don’t take some of the responsibility in these situations.

[@paroblynn]

The problem is this; let’s say you’re not a super star yet. You’re just the local dude who has been dusting folks at local shows and you finally get your break in the big show. Your contract is 15/15 because of your record and your manager (who you have to pay). You’re mollywhopping some guy who is responsible for his own safety too (tap, verbally submit), plus his team can toss in the towel and you have a referee who is supposed to intervene when the dude can’t defend himself. So there’s several layers of protection. What are you supposed to do, stop smacking the shit out of this guy, say “hey ref maybe do your job, hey guy getting your ass kicked, wake up and defend yourself, hey corner throw the towel in for your dude.” And then in some Off chance you’re wrong and you lost the fight. You potentially lost 50% of your purse plus a potential performance bonus. If I’m a fighter in the ufc, I’m not sure what I’d do. But it’s not hard to fathom that these dudes in the heat of the moment not stopping until stopped. Plus you have to feel “close” to getting it done when the ref is right there hovering and waiting.

[@CB-cp9kf]

Funniest part is jalin turner wailing on a comatose bobby green but his very next fight tries a 1 shot KO on moicano and then gets finished, settle somewhere in the middle young fella lol

[@user-be9pk8my6x]

i honestly wonder if he was thinking abt bobby after he knocked down moicano i think the bobby green fifth gave him ptsd

[@tarikestrada708]

The worst stoppage for me was Shane Carwin vs frank mir, mir took dozens of unanswered shot while he was flattened out and Carwin was one of the hardest hitters ever

[@IBADSNU]

That was brutal...

[@Moom20]

It was horrible, but i can respect the fact that he knew he was wrong, said it to everyone, and genuinely feels awful. All too often a ref will have a horrible stoppage and refuse to admit fault.

[@nasratnowroz]

This is the most HD video of Dana White I’ve ever seen

[@jimmicrackhead12]

Bobby still sleeping to this day 😂😂😂

[@stoney-wan]

Late stoppages add to the entertainment value tho

[@christianburris3474]

The ref was not present. His brain was somewhere else. I’m sure he’ll look back on the video and cringe. This one of the worst late stoppage in UFC history.

[@hatchetomahawk]

That's how I felt while watching, he was in muscle memory mode. At one stage he grabbed Jalin's as if he was the fighter who was going unconscious.

[@Amar-cb6sh]

I wish for main events, co-main events and championship fights they would be a little more like that.

[@nh8916]

There is literally no defending it, worst stoppage I've ever seen.. the guy was standing right overtop while he was literally being beat to death lol. I'd love to hear what that ref was seeing

[@Ethan_MM4]

Every ufc ref is terrible. Herb and Marc Goddard are absolutely trash refs and get praised. Jason herzog is my personal favorite but he messes up once in a while too. It’s hard when guys wanna keep going but you don’t know how much they can take

[@outlawgt3045]

Herb Dean is the ref the UFC uses to fix fights

[@benwallace2988]

Dana knew he didn't have to get mad, because he knew the ref was already mad at himself.

[@carlingram9722]

Goodnight bobby green😂

[@billdelfera8580]

And then Bobby comes back and puts a UFC legend in the hospital in his next fight😂 King Green is the fucking man. I sent him a message on Facebook a few weeks ago and to my surprise he responded and we went back and forth for a little bit. Bobby is the fucking man I told him his next walkout song should be king back by TI and he said that would be fire because that intro is crazy for a UFC fight. If you heard the song you know what I'm talking about. So if he does that I'm going to be so fucking hype

[@VanishedPNW]

Dude fuck that, at a certain point a fighter had to take some fucking responsibility. Its obvious when a guy is out. What the fuck was wrong witb that guy. Jesus christ.

[@Sickopuppie]

The ref was definitely a Tony Ferguson fan.

[@donrane]

So what does ot take for a ref to be fired ? This was 6-7 seconds late. We are not talking reaction times. Insane that Greene fought and won 5 months later.

[@Tantuni1301]

Lol...Mario "Braindamage is just a Mindset" Yamasaki would be Proud 😂

[@VanishedPNW]

"the difference is, Bobbt Green is blaaa-- BLAAAD to the... blone... Hes bline."

[@Anonymous8317]

Other than getting fired by Dana or whoever are there any repercussions for referees that make horrible decisions? What I mean is like are they banned for life from reffing fights. I don’t know if y’all remember, but I remember that one guy back in Tyson’s day or around there who was getting bullied because he was gay and the gay guy hit him so many times after he was unconscious he ended up killing the guy.

[@_NutcasE_]

Neither Dana nor UFC can fire the ref. Its appointed to these fights by each states athletic comission so if you want something done about it you got to take it to the state the ref is in.

[@noahsullivan5482]

Maybe if referees were in any way held accountable for their actions this wouldn’t happen so much

[@WarrenPuffet]

That has nothing to do with the UFC

[@samya5228]

It doesn't happen so much. Infact usually the refs get called out for stopping a fight too early. The last memorable late stoppage like this was with Mario Yamasaki and he was fired for this reason.

[@noahsullivan5482]

This isn’t really a criticism of Dana. And I agree that it’s not every ref and it doesn’t happen every card. But as a fan I’d much rather see an early stoppage than a late one
