Who is this idiot referee?

[NewAgeChuteBoxe]

Jacare is working
Vitor has known cardio issues.
Bullshit stopping it to get that checked out right then

 

[NewAgeChuteBoxe]

Yep and gets a scramble right after wtf

He restarted it in the exact same position , so not like it matters.

 

[Moin]

that was bullshit

 

[MCMXCIX]

A good one. Making sure there wasn't blood in his eye. Health first bro

 

[NewAgeChuteBoxe]

Didn't end up mattering.
But it's a momentum thing, Jacare dominating early, the cut clearly wasn't that bad
Idk seemed a detriment to Jacare at the time

 

[Pem123]

The stoppage is even worse


Very late stoppage imo

 

[GrantB13]

That wasn't bad. Restarted in half guard, Jacare passed but then Vitor got out.

 

[DwayneUSA]

Blood in the eyes is no joke.

Seeing is important.

Ref had him checked out.

It's his job.

 

[billharford]

he went from being a god in ancient Egypt to being an MMA referee. talk about a fall from grace.

Belfort isn't known for having cardio issues. He hasn't had a fight go past the midway point of the second round in 9 years.

Of course it matters. It stops the momentum and gives the guy an opportunity to rest. Also, the fight is never restarted exactly how it was.

 

[bricklay3r]

It was actually quite appropriate, the cut was fast and lots of blood.

 

[Coolidge]

It's not the ref's job to insure he doesn't have blood in his eyes. Stopping the fight when one fighter is in a good position to get a stoppage is asinine.

 

[thrillkilla77]

So far 2 fights fucked up by amateur dipshit refs

 

[EndlessCritic]

I agree the stoppage was beneficial to Belfort.

At least the ref restarted them in the right position.

All is well that ends well.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

they needed a more experienced ref for it

 

[juncito]

Everything that ref did made me believe he is one of the best refs in the game. Even after what some consider a late stoppage I said to myself, I like this guy.

 

[Blobtheblobfish]

Of course it matters. It stops the momentum and gives the guy an opportunity to rest. Also, the fight is never restarted exactly how it was.

I mean, it's a rule to stop the fight if the cut is that bad and considering how much he was bleeding and there was a stop in the action, the ref stopped it at the right time for the doc to look at it to make sure it wasn't above the eye.

 

[EXOICHO]

Could have been way worse.
