Why does ref Steve Percival keep getting boo-ed at UFC Melbourne? (I had to enter a message, but had nothing else to add.)

He's garbage, and everyone knows it. The bald guy from Ham/Taylor might be worse, though.

 

[elbowsandwiches]

i was wondering myself.

 

[Shoot Boxe Hero]

Percival the Unmerciful doesn't stop fights until he can see the brain damage creeping in

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Aussies seem to legit hate homie.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Getting personal with Percival the unmerciful.

 

[Goodfella86]

This probably stems from the Magny/Lombard massacre.

 

[TheGrouch]

This probably stems from the Magny/Lombard massacre.

That, among others. He's just a shitty ref, that seems to enjoy being shitty, and seeing fighters take unnecessary brain damage, not recognizing eye poke or groins shots, and just being a white-trash Aussie douche.

 

[chunglii]

because he almost killed Mark Hunt

 

[Cheapshart]

Crikey, that's a bit harsh. He just fair dinkum lets them bang, mate.

 

[Dragov]

He is the JUSTBLEEDREF

 

[dim_]

It's partly because of the hunt fight.

Assies don't care about lombard/magny

But it's mainly because he's shite

 

[Squish II]

Because he got to be part of some of the biggest beatdowns, mentioned above. Just Bleed.

 

[Joe Buck]

When he sees brain damage, he stop the fight, ask medicals to clean the blood then he restarts the fight. (Hunt vs Big Foot)
