McGregor cheated at least 19 times against Khabib; Herb Dean should be fired.

Shit, @acannxr, that was a long post, tiresome but I loved it.

Also, 160 likes, congrats dude, I guess I'm not the only one liking it. @Jopo has to post for a couple of years to get that. <Lmaoo>

Why would I want "likes"?

and who the fuck are you and why are you talking to me.

 

[CodyMckenziesPrime]

I'm actually more bothered by Herb Dean's officiating, which is what half of this thread is about.

And I'm not even a fan of Nurmagomedov.

Go back and watch a different fight then and see how many questionable short pullings or elbows you find, why so invested in this particular matchup if you aren’t a fan of either fighter

 

[ANIM4L]

I don't even think that Dean was on the take for this fight. If he was then he would have stood them up at every opportunity. I think that this fight was just an example of supreme referee incompetence. WTF Herb?

Khabib, his father and Mendez breaking Dean's balls.



"I was trying to do a good job for you , in my opinion."

"how much did they pay you?"
Head down, Herb can barely look him in the eyes.

 

[Roljo]

Missed a lot of it watching live but actually there isn't a time while grappling where Connor doesn't try to illegally hold Khabib's gloves, the cage or throw illegal techniques

It's not you who wants them, they should want you.

and who the fuck are you and why are you talking to me.

1. Luke, I'm your father.
jk, no way I'd have a newmetal fan like you as my kid, I'd beat him senseless like your father

2. I talk pretty much to whoever I feel like, today I posted about 20 times. Some of which were not serious, like this one, still, none of which trying to make a point. Made new friends, a guy actually took his time to compliment me for what I've said, want me to find that post? (Not trying to be cocky, trust me)

3. You don't need to prove why few people like you, yet you can go 2 ways from here:
- Comprehend that people are people and be nice to them because it's nice and stuff + being a sucker won't help anybody, specially you or
- The other way around, which sadly I know that's where you'll sadly pursue, and I'd like to be wrong here.

Either I'm having fun or helping out a stranger, how can someone be so merciful, so gifted? (twss, I know)

I don't need or want your approval. What a strange post. You assume a lot. Go back to your my little pony website. At least stop trying to be cute.

Take all the time you need to find a fight with this many blatant fouls, not questionable, but blatant.

I'm invested in so far that I'm suspicious and concerned by Herb Dean's officiating.

 

[capnlarge]

And yet you're posting in this thread.


Yeah, who cares about a ref's corruption/incompetence...

Fighters almost never lose points for fouls. It's just how this sport is officiated. I don't like it but that's just how it is.

 

[det_regnar_på_vår_kärlek]

Man, those fouls were pretty bad

 

[Coconutwater]

Man, those fouls were pretty bad

One cheat move at the championship level.... ok... I get it.... but that many?

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Man, those fouls were pretty bad

The end of the third round is the absolute worst reffing I can recall. You have clear view of a fighter cheating. The fighter is telling you what foul is being committed mid fight. And you give the clean fighter a warning for inactivity while the other guy is still flagrantly cheating!

Herb is a fucking horrendous ref.

 

[CasualBot]

This (thread) should be stickied (stuck?) to the top of the forum.

Any time the word "Conor" is typed it should merge posts to the "cheated entirely too much thread"

Let me run this place already

 

[CasualBot]

Herb is a fucking horrendous ref.

Twenty some ought years I watched limbs flop around, and somehow Herb chose Robbie to be "out cold" from a headlock.

I loved laughing about Herb, but after Mcgregor cheating and Askren being awarded a win on a headlock, i legit believe Herb needs to be fired.

quit fucking crying your boy won its over
who gives a shit if he cheated he lost

if he won maybe this thread would matter

LOL

Round 1

(1) Grabbing shorts with his left hand.

(2) Strikes to the back of the head, (3) 12-6 elbows, and (4) grabbing shorts with his left hand.

(5) Grabbing shorts with his left hand.

(6) Strikes to the back of the head and (7) 12-6 elbow.

(8) Grabbing shorts with his left hand.

Round 2

(9) Kneeing a downed opponent.

This couldn't have been anymore flagrant; it's not like they were in a position in which it was difficult for McGregor to assess whether or not Nurmagomedov was a downed opponent.

(10) Grabbing the cage with his toes.

(11) Grabbing the cage with his toes.

And this foul was done right after Dean had already removed McGregor's toes from the cage.

Round 3

(12) Groin strike.

(13) Grabbing shorts with his left hand.

(14) Hooking fingers into opponent's glove.

(15) Hooking fingers into opponent's glove and (16) strike to the back of the head.

This might be one the most obvious signs of Herb Dean's incompetence/corruption: McGregor had hooked his fingers into Nurmagomedov's glove for 24 seconds in plain view of Dean, and not only was a warning not given nor a point deducted from McGregor, Dean actually gave Nurmagomedov a warning for inactivity.

Round 4

(17) Grabbing the cage with his right hand.

() Grabbing the cage with his toes.

Herb Dean recently explained his rationale for not deducting a single point for any of these fouls, but all he's achieved is make himself look worse:



What exactly does excitement have to do with a referees job? His job is to protect the fighters and ensure that the rules are being followed. Nurmagomedov wasn't protected from McGregor's fouls nor were the rules being enforced.


And yet how much did the above 18 fouls affect the outcome?

One of Dean's many flawed explanations for why he didn't take a point was because he didn't want to reward McGregor with a stand up by calling a pause in the action to deduct a point.

However, I copied this directly from the Unified Rules of MMA:

What's hilarious is that Dean has deducted points, without pausing the action, in past fights: he deducted a point from Gabriel Gonzaga in the Randy Couture fight for grabbing the fence in the second round, and did not pause the action (because Couture was in an advantageous position).

Another example was when John McCarthy deducted a point from Tito Ortiz for grabbing the fence against Rashad Evans at UFC 73; McCarthy didn't pause the action at all and Evans maintained top position.

Oh and McGregor has already admitted to cheating on Twitter:

NBA refs are told how to call games by the league. UFC refs seem to have a lot in common with their NBA "brothers". Herb is leading the pack.

 

[acannxr]

Made new gifs because the previous ones got 404'd. I also found a new foul in the first round that I previously missed, increasing McGregor's tally to a total of 19 fouls.

 

[Garnet_StrongerThanYou]

Yet Herb Dean has no repercussions

If this was any other profession he'd get sacked for incompetence

he’s not Incompetent. He was doing exactly what he was paid to do. How can you be so naive?

19 FOULS IN ONE FIGHT. Holy fook.

Conor always impressed me.
And not a single point deduction too.

Fighting Khabib must be the scariest thing in the world.
