The sport has been corrupted to conspicuous levels now. Shame on Herb Dean, worst referee in the UFC. Dana White how much did you pay him to support Sean O'Methly?
I know you guys don't pay for the fights, but that style isn't going to get anyone to buy PPVs. Bring back Pide Fc yellow card. Toe Rogan can cry all he wants that shit was boring as fuck.
You are forgetting that the UFC directly controls match making. If they want they can never give the loser of merab/Umar a title shot again and give omally a title shot if Umar/merab loses the belt
But I’ll give it to the tiny man at least he made the fight competitive in the first 2 rounds Sean on the other hand was just there so merab have someone to fight before he become a champion dude was broken.
This Herb stuff aint new. Herb been biased. Anik been biased too. Herb lookin past multiple Conor fouls. And Anik was all 🥰😍 interviewing Conor and was all 🤐 to his opponents
I'm tired of the commentators saying Herb Dean is the best in the business, same goes for Marc Goddard. They constantly make mistakes and consistently make parts of the fights about them. Just cause Anik and Rogan say these things it doesn't make it true.
Yeah, that guy with the huge braided beard is probably the best right now, only one I can think of that's never made a big mistake I can remember. No one will ever top Big John McCarthy though.
because sean kept just trying to stare right through just using faints while merab was punching in & out fainting & waiting for sean to get close to him to exchange punches while throwing faints

exactly !!! I was wondering why the judges in the end gave only 48/47 to Merab...even though Merab was dominating EVERY ROUND !!! Soo biased !!! they all wanted Sean to win !!!
The refs aren't employed by the UFC. The UFC might have came to him and asked him to do this as a favor though. What people have to understand is that performances like this, tanks the ratings. It really hurts the UFCs wallet. They want to make big money like we all do so it's understandable. I train jiu jitsu. It's so boring to watch. Unbearable. So Sakuraba created an event called "quintet". They heavily penalize stalling. If you're seen not engaging for even 2 seconds, they will throw a flag on you. With enough flags you get disqualified. It's the most entertaining form of jiu jitsu you can find.
I liked how Herb Dean acted in the start of the fight and when he called Omaley for put his fingers inside Merab’s glove. But keeping calling for action was just to try Merab to make a mistake and please Dana.
Noted. Herb just happened to walk around from left to right and had to call it when he saw it. The dink had not one but two hands in his glove. Conor with the fence and gloves use to do the same.
I think he figured he wasn't going to finish merab fast, so he went for cardio. Merab went to his well, sean escaped his well. You don't switch things up last minute if you haven't trained for it for at least a few years. Practice that one kick 10,000 times, move on to next kick. Sean's a one trick pony.
Herb trying to bait Merab into jumping in Willy nilly since Merab already called out inauthentic Tim Welch for being a snake…that’s humanity…entranced by shatan
After WWE took over im pretty sure a memo went out to all the refs that they needed more "action". Not to mention Herb also has been over and doing a lot more reffing in One which really wants lots and lots of action.
Islam vs Volk 1 was a split decision. WTF you talking about. You prob never even watched a Chandler fight from start to finish. You proved it with your comment
We all knew, but Herb now really exposed how much Dana is in his pockets...If you on the ufc shitlist and Herb's reffing your fights, your gonna be fighting 2 guys at once. The ufc is rigging the fights as much as they can.
The UFC might be going in a different direction with their rules. They want to encourage fans to engage. An arena of silence and people walking out is terrible for business. Hardcore fans will watch no matter what, but hardcore fans don't keep the lights on. You need mediocre to casual fans to keep the money flowing in. They are the reason UFC is a profitable business. If you deliver a product that sucks, they will stop watching or watch less which equals less business for them. I personally like it but every one of me out there, there are 100 of people saying it's boring. So I have to be unbiased and acknowledge that. Most people are PISSED they spend money on that.
@@MAD_Villain1981 i know... that's how we all know. Even when sean beat aljo you can argue the stoppage was early, but herb wanted to give sean the belt.. But this fight here was so blanat & obvious.
There is nothing he could train that would change at this point in his life. You can't learn wrestling the way Merab knows wrestling after you are already an adult.
He did. And Sean’s a decent counter- wrestler. Look at his fights with Yan and Aljo. But you can’t gain the level of wrestling knowledge that Merab has in a fight camp.
@@kylemadison1296 really so there is no point in training any wrestling defense or anything? ngannou learned how to stop take downs and knocked out stipe pretty easily after his first loss to stipe
Merab is a Greco Romano wrestler not an American wrestler if anything his style is more similar to sambo than American wrestling he hooks legs like the Agustin wrestlers you clearly don’t even know the difference.
And Tim Welch got exposed for his shitty coaching between rounds. Was there a reason Tim couldn't tell Sean "you're getting your ass kicked" 5th round was a little late for Tim to tell Sean use the knee.
@@Sherpa_k2Tim also rubbed his back and said "it's almost over buddy". That is not something you want to hear from your coach. Guy was treating Omalley like a victim between rounds.
Smoked? Dry humped for 5 rounds. Merab is the only one whose face was cut and clearly was hurt in the 5th round by the teap kicks. O'Malley maybe has a charlie horse from the knees.
The same guy who's gifting Jones another heavyweight win and presenting it as legacy building despite the reality that Jones is really just going up against a guy who's coming out of a 4 year retirement in his mid 40s? It has to be that guy.

Agree, Jones fought tooth and nail to secure the fight with a 43 year old coming off a KO 3 years ago after sitting out over a year himself while the interim champion has defended the title twice..
Commentators seem to forget it's a business they are selling entertainment. Without the people being entertained no one is buying it which means no one has a job including the fighters. It's obvious from everyone watching that the crowd was not liking the co-main or the main event, Herb was aware enough to know that he needed to make it more entertaining so he tried his best without getting involved.
Herb never once broke them up and he immediately stoped and reset things when O’Malley grabbed merabs gloves. Y’all just love to common and make issues where there isnt any
I'm Mexican and won't accept Alexa's regret. She had many months to improve her take down defense. It was embarrassing how easy Valentina took her down. Shameful and infuriating. Congats to Valentina!
I’m team Shevchenko, but I like Alexa too. I was disappointed she did not stay to talk to the fans after the fight. Valentina did it in the last two fights.
Is everyone daft? It's obvious, Dana had a chat with Herb Dean on the side and said "Listen, make sure you try your damn best to push the action. I spent $20mill on this event, I need to make sure there is action." That's that. There's nothing else to it. Herb Dean NEVER does this, so obviously something was said beforehand to cause him to push so incessantly.
@@robertmceuen3630 Just because you said that means you don't watch enough UFC or MMA in general enough, herb is mostly trash, he also refs other promotions where he is also kinda bad.
I think the refree and the judges were on Sean O malleys side...... even though Merab was dominating every round the judges in the end gave only 48/47 for Merab !!! it's ridiculous !!! Iḿ soo happy Merab WON !!!! He deserves it !!!!!!
While the ref of course can't be biased, I do appreciate the call for more action. Laying on your opponent or running to avoid getting hit, save that for a fight at the local gym. This is entertainment and business, not just sport. I didn't pay 80 bucks for dancing around.
As a lifelong American Wrestler (former D1 All-American), I love that grappling is dominating the UFC. Nothing is more alpha than being on top of another man, holding him down against his will, and pounding him into submission.
That's not his job though. He's there to keep fighters safe and enforce rules. It's never a referee's job to manipulate the fight in any way. He even said he doesn't like doing that when he was on Joe's podcast
Everyone is so shocked O'Malley lost? Dude's been ducking the hard fights (for his style) since arriving in the UFC, because HE KNOWS he's not as good as he pretends he is. Merab exposed him. I love it.
Herb had to do wat he was told to push the fight Sean's way, tell merab to work to allow Sean to finish with a 5th round knockout. Merab was not supposed to win
Herb Dean has just been spending too much time over in Thailand where they have yellow/red cards for fights. Dana White after Jones retires: "Jon Jones just had the greatest retirement of all time, that was PFP#1 retirement. He's the most active retired fighter. "
Herb did horrible, trying to control the fight while merab was beating on omalley. Hes a tool for the ufc trying to get merab to make a mistake so omalley could win .
He probably had money on Bumalley, a casual is the one who confuses mma to boxing and not appreciating grappling, grapplers train and strike half as good as the elite strikers of mma, but these elite strikers will never train to be atleast 10% of what elite grapplers do while grappling 🤫
Exactly what I have been saying, Valentina's game plan was great but boring AF!!! She did NOTHING on top other then trying to hold Grasso down, to Grasso's credit, she had more activity being on the bottom with the sub attempts and hammer-strikes.
@@ricecakejohnson Sometimes you have to make it a boring fight to secure the W. Nobody was complaining when she KO’ed Eye into the Shadow Realm or beat the shit out of Andrade, Murphy and Chookagian.
Ngl most of the hate I’ve heard against herb in the grasso/Val fight is salty mexicans, who are butt hurt about having 5 ranked fighters and zero champions anymore.
Not a good look for Herb no doubt but the boring AF Dagestanis are going to kill this sport. Make knees and kicks to the head legal on grounded opponents for a start and whatever else it takes to end this garbage fire style.
I wasn’t disagreeing with Herb at all. Whole time the commentary was blasting him I was like shut up Joe DC and Anik I agree with him your in the last round of a title fight running away
nice of dana to blast valentina. she fought brilliantly. made adjustments, mixed it up. grassos sub attempts were great. damn he has to stop berrating his own fighters!!
same deal than Justin. Look where his head is going to be. He has to crouch before he charges. You can use elbows right to mid as he is gearing up. If you miss clinch, then push away. It is all about being first. You can throw elbow, clinch knee, spinning kicks,uppercut, etc. It is all about hit him before he has a chance to charge at you. If you miss, clinch... push away. You have to Lyoto Mochida this tupuria guy.
We may not really hear about it but I feel like there has to be some decent pressure from higher ups in the UFC to incentivize "exciting fights". And I wouldn't be surprised if someone put a bug in his ear after the co-main and the crowds reaction.
Nothing illegal about it. He told Merab to stop kissing Sean, not to stop fighting. Merab just started walking away because he didn't understand the instruction, but you are to protect yourself AT ALL TIMES. It may have been a cheap shot, but you can't blame O'Malley for being pissed about the kissing and for throwing a punch when the Herb never told him to stop fighting. I'm glad Merab humble Sean, but Merab kinda acted like a fool in there.
Reminds me of Usman vs Woodley where they got reset when Usman was smashing him too hard. But of course, the ass beating in both fights let the right person win.
Herb dean also work as a referee for One FC, where referees are instructed to stand them up if there is little action. "let's work' is a warning before he has to stop the action and stand them up.
For Herb to inject himself into the fight like that, really seems like he was told beforehand what to do or he had a lot of money on O’malley 😅
he is one of those workers who just wants to make theyr boss happy
ufc wanted sean o malley to win, subconciously he knows that, this was the thrive behind his actions.
he wanted to make the ufc happy, instead of refereing a fight fairly.

I'm Mexican and won't accept Alexa's regret. She had many months to improve her take down defense. It was embarrassing how easy Valentina took her down. Shameful and infuriating. Congats to Valentina!
I’m team Shevchenko, but I like Alexa too. I was disappointed she did not stay to talk to the fans after the fight. Valentina did it in the last two fights.
Is everyone daft? It's obvious, Dana had a chat with Herb Dean on the side and said "Listen, make sure you try your damn best to push the action. I spent $20mill on this event, I need to make sure there is action." That's that. There's nothing else to it. Herb Dean NEVER does this, so obviously something was said beforehand to cause him to push so incessantly.
Pretty much and he wanted to give Sean the best chance possible
So on the money. It was sickening to watch and hear him as they both were working.
how do u fight one top 15, then go for title? 🤔🤔
herb needs to officiate not control the fight , chill out herb 🧐
Cejudo got whooped for 3 lmao and probably would've gotten stopped in 5
Hey Dana...."THAT'S F*%K!NG ILLEGAL"
So its official jon jones is avoiding tom aspinall like the plague...
Jones will be remembered as a coward with the physique of DC for purposely avoiding the interim champion.
No one cares about picto jones
Pereira's English has improved
herb has become the "im too stoned to ref" meme personified
Pretty much the best referee in the UFC. That said, I don't know WTF he was doing the other night.
the glove call was good tho
@@robertmceuen3630 Just because you said that means you don't watch enough UFC or MMA in general enough, herb is mostly trash, he also refs other promotions where he is also kinda bad.
@@klefthoofrobert787I'd say he used to be the p4p best ref before he left his prime about 6-7 years ago
I think the refree and the judges were on Sean O malleys side...... even though Merab was dominating every round the judges in the end gave only 48/47 for Merab !!! it's ridiculous !!! Iḿ soo happy Merab WON !!!! He deserves it !!!!!!
Shevchenko and Merab both did nothing but smother their opponents. Neither were doing any real damage or submitting their opponent
I loved it. Excellent game plans to get the belt. This folks is MMA. I hope Merab finds great happiness after this win.
@@Sherpa_k2Especially Shevchenko made sure to fix all the mistakes from the last fights.
No 10-8 bullshit from the judges this time 😅
Jon Jones retiring at U.F.C.309 would be the wisest move Jon has ever made. The question is what if Jon loses?
That would be hilarious.
but I'm sure he'll make sure to take enough peds to avoid that.
Excellent video

@@dylonmullins bs. Look scared forever.
Agreed , Umar is a very kind person. Just like Islam❤
While the ref of course can't be biased, I do appreciate the call for more action. Laying on your opponent or running to avoid getting hit, save that for a fight at the local gym. This is entertainment and business, not just sport. I didn't pay 80 bucks for dancing around.
Facts!
boohoo cry some more, go watch WWE if you want entertainment
That was actually Dana in Herb's ear going "work work work".
As a lifelong American Wrestler (former D1 All-American), I love that grappling is dominating the UFC. Nothing is more alpha than being on top of another man, holding him down against his will, and pounding him into submission.
If 1 man can hold you down then 2 men can.....well you know.
Pause
Jon is that you?
As long as you aren't naked lol
Actually it's more alpha to get into North South and pound them with your cup.
Mirrab Dishva Deely vs Tumar Nurmag Domindoff- Chael
Herb dean knew it was a snoozer. He was trying to get the fighters to do something exciting.
That's not his job though. He's there to keep fighters safe and enforce rules. It's never a referee's job to manipulate the fight in any way. He even said he doesn't like doing that when he was on Joe's podcast
@@ryancandee5354 ok
Everyone is so shocked O'Malley lost? Dude's been ducking the hard fights (for his style) since arriving in the UFC, because HE KNOWS he's not as good as he pretends he is. Merab exposed him. I love it.
Herb is right that fight was boring get to work boys!!! This is show busniess!!!
Herb had to do wat he was told to push the fight Sean's way, tell merab to work to allow Sean to finish with a 5th round knockout. Merab was not supposed to win
Rogan needs to stick to his podcasts and let the professional do the refereeing hes so opinionated to were he's annoying at time's
The refs and judges were lined up to steal the fight from Merab, but it still didn't stop him from winning. MERAB is Champ! Get over it Dana.
‘Hey everybody I-Santanpropropagandapoopyscoopydoobydoo’
-Merab probably
Herb Dean has just been spending too much time over in Thailand where they have yellow/red cards for fights. Dana White after Jones retires: "Jon Jones just had the greatest retirement of all time, that was PFP#1 retirement. He's the most active retired fighter. "
Herb Dean one of the best referees out there..
He is but he was telling them to be aggressive for no reason
@@ibrahimahmed4657 its a fight not a dance
@@josh1158merab was active though. He just had his bets on Sean. Wanted to save his $$$

This is the only mma news channel I watch anymore
Leave herb alone casuals he did fine
I've been following MMA since the 90s , that was a disgrace by herb,he's an idiot
He was and is trash .Been watching this since before you were born and know only mo's use "casual" as an insult kid
Herb did horrible, trying to control the fight while merab was beating on omalley. Hes a tool for the ufc trying to get merab to make a mistake so omalley could win .
He probably had money on Bumalley, a casual is the one who confuses mma to boxing and not appreciating grappling, grapplers train and strike half as good as the elite strikers of mma, but these elite strikers will never train to be atleast 10% of what elite grapplers do while grappling 🤫
Exactly what I have been saying, Valentina's game plan was great but boring AF!!! She did NOTHING on top other then trying to hold Grasso down, to Grasso's credit, she had more activity being on the bottom with the sub attempts and hammer-strikes.
If you’re a world champion and your opponent can take you down and hold you there for 25 mins, it’s your problem to solve
@@peterk2735 I m not suggesting Grasso won or anything, just pointing out that Valentina didnt do much and the fight was super boring.
@@ricecakejohnson Sometimes you have to make it a boring fight to secure the W. Nobody was complaining when she KO’ed Eye into the Shadow Realm or beat the shit out of Andrade, Murphy and Chookagian.
Ngl most of the hate I’ve heard against herb in the grasso/Val fight is salty mexicans, who are butt hurt about having 5 ranked fighters and zero champions anymore.
lol how do you know they are mexican?
@@johnnyringo2695 looooooooool 9/10 profile names are like Rodriguez and Sanchez and shit
Either that or Phillipino
Not a good look for Herb no doubt but the boring AF Dagestanis are going to kill this sport. Make knees and kicks to the head legal on grounded opponents for a start and whatever else it takes to end this garbage fire style.
I wasn’t disagreeing with Herb at all. Whole time the commentary was blasting him I was like shut up Joe DC and Anik I agree with him your in the last round of a title fight running away
Ilia bout to catch true veteran work from max
nice of dana to blast valentina. she fought brilliantly. made adjustments, mixed it up. grassos sub attempts were great. damn he has to stop berrating his own fighters!!
Why is it that Dana white kicked paul Dailey out of the ufc for a sucker punch but Sean O'Malley does it and it's ok what's the difference????
same deal than Justin. Look where his head is going to be. He has to crouch before he charges. You can use elbows right to mid as he is gearing up. If you miss clinch, then push away. It is all about being first. You can throw elbow, clinch knee, spinning kicks,uppercut, etc. It is all about hit him before he has a chance to charge at you. If you miss, clinch... push away. You have to Lyoto Mochida this tupuria guy.
We may not really hear about it but I feel like there has to be some decent pressure from higher ups in the UFC to incentivize "exciting fights".
And I wouldn't be surprised if someone put a bug in his ear after the co-main and the crowds reaction.
Herb Dean has always been a corrupt ref. That's why khabib decided he couldn't ref his fights anymore. He has ref'd the worst as long as I remember.
I lost it when he went after merab for the kiss and totally ignored that ILLEGAL blindside cheap shot from omalley… 😤🤬
Nothing illegal about it. He told Merab to stop kissing Sean, not to stop fighting. Merab just started walking away because he didn't understand the instruction, but you are to protect yourself AT ALL TIMES. It may have been a cheap shot, but you can't blame O'Malley for being pissed about the kissing and for throwing a punch when the Herb never told him to stop fighting. I'm glad Merab humble Sean, but Merab kinda acted like a fool in there.
I think Sean looked a little flat, but I enjoyed both the main and Co-main
Reminds me of Usman vs Woodley where they got reset when Usman was smashing him too hard. But of course, the ass beating in both fights let the right person win.
I think it's time for herb to retire.
Herb Dean must have bet his mortgage on O'Malley
Herb Dean did just fine… y’all just live bitching
now the comments will say HEY GUYS JONES IS RUNNING CUZ HES SCARED :)
elbow to the face, knee, knee. Herb Dean "WORK WORK." I think it's time for him to retire, he's becoming incompetent.
At some point we have to ask why does bad judging and reffing typically lean towards outcomes that do/would benefit the UFC
Herb dean also work as a referee for One FC, where referees are instructed to stand them up if there is little action. "let's work' is a warning before he has to stop the action and stand them up.
If only they would ref that way against the Dagestanis
Omaley and Adesanya seasons of Drag Race are over.
