I hope this thread lives up to my expectations

 

Herb did fine in Brown/Silva.

He actually does fine most nights.

 

Never knew that Tony Weeks was a judge.

 

I'm sure Herb is Barao's favorite ref.

 

after screwing over 2 main events in a row, i must admit he did good in brown vs silva. That turned out to be a nice fight indd!

 

Oh now I see.

Idk why I thought Dillashaw/Barao was UFC 174 and UFC 173 was MM/Ali.

Spoiler

They're closer than 2 peas in a pod.

 

If I'm TJ Dillashaw, that's the last ref I want

 

Let's hope he lets the fight go on for a bit longer this time.

 

That's because Silva didn't have puppy dog eyes locked on Herb when he was poudning on Brown.



Barao is going to use his puppy dog eyes on Herb again. Dillashaw got screwed by Herb once and he will get screwed again if he gets dropped.

 

unlucky TJ

 

lmao it does look like that

 

lol.

I was under the impression a fighter can protest a ref and the athletic commissions have to change it.

 

yup

 

TJ is lucky. If Steve Mazagatti was referee he probably wouldn't survive.
