First off, I have got to give much respect where much respect is due.
Since the start of the UFC, Referees have improved dramatically since the 90’s and early 2000’s (Pride referees always knew when to save a fighter)
I know some will complain that certain refs got a decision wrong or made a mistake and yes, it does happen, IN EVERY SPORT!
Usually when someone barks that a referee was wrong, it usually is coming from a biased opinion of a fan of the losing side.
Being an impartial ref MUST be impossible, just as an impartial judge is....We all have stereotypes and biases whether admitted or not.
I am just happy that referees have a much better grasp on knowing when is almost the exact time to save a fighter. Best improvement over time.
MY QUESTION IS: Is there a referee school that is responsible for teaching HOW to referee?
