Marc Goddard is NOW visibly a bad referee.

[Aurelian]

Goddard has been terrible for quite a while now. I cringe every time I see him reffing a fight I'm invested in.

That said, I don't think the Blaydes stoppage last night was that bad.

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

Stoppage looked fine, to be honest. Blaydes just kind of sat there getting blasted without so much as moving. Sure, he wasnt out, but he wasn't doing anything to move or defend.

His arm was not stable when he tried to get up so he was pretty damaged.
Clearly an early stoppage! It should have been limp!

 

[Hotora86]

The bad stoppage was when Paddy had to break sleeping King's arm to have the ref intervene... :/

 

[RockyLockridge]

only the jiri one is contentious.

the blaydes one is perfectly fine,

 

[RockyLockridge]

you've seriously never heard of a standing ko?

my favourite standing KO ever, Then Joanna vs penne

 

[RockyLockridge]

Usman-Covington too

this is worse than the blaydes one if im being honest. the blaydes one is 100 Percent a good stoppage. Facedown on belly is the worst look.

 

[Trabaho]

What did you expect ? Curtis to get up and Tom to stop punching ?

You're just a saddist

 

[nonoob]

Position of Blades had Tom ready to open up if fight wasn't stopped.

you've seriously never heard of a standing ko?

Nate, kickin' ass & takin' names, finishin' his fight. Hespect to both Diaz brothers.

my favourite standing KO ever, Then Joanna vs penne

I raise you a Daley vs Kampmann

 

[BluntForceTrama]

Ive been saying for a while what the F is ths UFC thinking hiring refs this physicslly large with heads the size of melons?

They should all be the size of keith peterson who is the best ref in the promotion bar none.

Do you notice the way Keith wears all black? Hes trying to be INVISIBLE which is what a good ref is supposed to strive for

Not like this complete ham Goddard

spoiler: yes

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

everytime blaydes got hit he fell flat belly down. goddard has to make the call in an instant. was a perfectly fine call bladyes got reflatend more than once

 

[omawho402]

Blaydes was moving his head and pushing up just as Goddard was moving in to stop it. He had already made up his mind. And he was on the opposite side of where the strikes were being thrown. He's garbage.

Most won't defend Curtis because he's not popular. If it was Tom there would be an uproar.

I was rooting for Tom, but I thought it was early and left a bad taste in my mouth. Not the worst stoppage ever, but also not good.

 

[whooty]

Bring back the angel of death, Mario Yamasaki.

Or Steve Mazzaghati who's just checking out ring girls instead of watching the fight he's supposed to ref

 

[Goatenstein]

Goddard is biased towards Europeans and incompetent.

 

[Xanzito]

Mario should come back and make Mortal Kombat great again

 

[Istryker]

Re watched all 3 of those stoppages and all 3 were crap championship stoppages.


Ridiculous referee, and these early stoppages are turning me off from the sport.

 

[markys00]

NOW??

 

[markys00]

Mario should come back and make Mortal Kombat great again

The Mario hate was over the top. He's better than a lot of refs we have now. He just didn't want to play along
