Anyone remember silva vs velazquez 2 also? I'd rather have kim winslow in there

Herb Dean is the guy with most easly stoppages in the industry, remember , kimbo vs nelson ,amagov vs berry, tito vs ken, lawler vs kos just of the top of my head

Fights should be allowed to continue longer on title fights, let herb ref unimportant fights where the first guy to get hurt loses
 
Leon Roberts should be assigned to all title fights.
 
I gotta admit, those punches were clearly for show and not damaging Faber very much.
 
Is that Sherdog's opinion on the stoppage?

If they weren't damaging, Faber should have done something. Literally anything other than laying flat with his hand up would have had the fight continue.
 
It was a good call, Faber was doing fuck all.
 
not my point, fact is title fights should always have a clear winner.
if herb reffed the lesnar vs carwin fight we would have had a new champ.
its like he's too anxious and cant wait to stop the fight, his job should be to determine wheter or not a guy is unconscious or about to go unconscious

The rules don't say anything about consciousness being a factor in a stoppage. It's intelligently defending yourself, and Faber wasn't.
 
Didn't somebody get choked out with their thumb up?

Faber said he was OK. But he was turtled up getting punched. That's not an OK position.

Good call.
 
I just wish Herb Dean was not the referee of the Fedor vs Henderson fight..

Was Brock in the same position not moving while he was getting punched?

If not, then that comparison doesn't fit.
 
Everyone has a bad day and based on all the fights on the card, maybe it was time to call that one.
 
How was Velasquez Silva a bad stoppage? Herb is the second best referee in the business.

Herb Dean is a class act & one of the best out there. No ref has a perfect record & his/her job is to look for fighter safety whether it is a TF or not. It's what separates MMA from a sport & just a **** fight.
