It's always fucking been a thing that they do that. So saying oh you need to be balls to the wall the whole 5 rounds. But Sean yeah no he's a striker so he can do whatever

tldr; Refs just need to ref. iirc, Herb wasnt even giving Merab more than a few seconds before he started saying "work" Herbacious was coaching in the octagon - overstepping his referee credentials. Merab will knee your thighs and back for as long as he wants, just like a striker will just throw jabs until the other fighter closes the void to avoid being at the end of the punches. If I want to see striking, I’ll watch ONE FC/Glory Kickboxing, this is MMA, where balancing training in striking/grappling is a big part of the sport. If the UFC don’t like a grappler only fighter, like that dude Kape fought last, then they let them go.

I like Herb and he does an overall great job. I disagree with him on "advancing position". That is not the referee's job and he doesn't know the game plan. They can do whatever they want as long as they're not just laying on them. What he isn't telling you is that he most likely had a directive from the UFC to NOT allow any of that especially at Noche UFC because the Sheik and everyone was there. It isn't about impressing some foreign Sheik, it's about the competition and the athletes. It is absolutely not his job to interfere with the athlete as Rob was working hard.

Not as bad as Nina Drama’s schtick, that’s unbearable and honestly I can’t believe her BF/husband is aligned with her that it’s ok, but hey I digress. Maybe I should have more humility than judgment, and all of that is perceived and it’s all just a professional finding their way and you’ve become better for it, and good for you. I’ll go with that.

There’s no excuse. He was 100% influencing the fight and this interview proves it. He wants the fights to be more entertaining and tried to do what he could to make it more entertaining. He was directly coaching after warning Tim Welch about coaching another fighter. This smells like some insider gambling stuff and at best Herb being a “company man”. Either way, there was no reason for “timidity” to be called at all during the fight. Herb is in the wrong and fucked up. When the commentary team is shocked, confused and trashing the ref live on PPV that should give you some insight on how bad it was.
