Well, I'll say this; what just happened proves that the Refs care more about the promotion than the fighters. And if they aren't on the take in some way, or there wasn't some kind of relationship there....why would they? They are meant to be independent adjudicators. Everything that just happened was Herb Dean putting the promotion ahead of Stephen's health. I've said it before, and I'll say it again--this **** IS corrupt, Herb Dean is corrupt, and if you disagree you're ******* Stevie Wonder and/or a ******* imbecile.

I applaud Herb for giving Jeremy over 5 minutes. 

That eye just wouldn't open. Must've been horrendous. 


Yair is to blame. UFC gloves are to blame.

????I must be Stevie feckin Wonder then!!!??? I don't understand how that proves the ref is on the take??? He stopped a main event because a fighter couldn't see after being given 5 minutes to recover. Where's the bribe???

Bruh do you know how Jeremy Stephens worked for this fight. 2+ months of training for 10 seconds you know he wanted it to open up as much as Herb did. Also Herb wouldn't have let him in there impaired visiually

@wasteland isn't it obvious? Referees are meant to be independent adjudicators in the same way court judges are independent of the executive. Without an independent judiciary, you have nothing--actually, you have less than nothing. Referees are meant t with the safety of fighters as their first priority. NOT to try and coerce injured fighters into continuing to fight so the promotion doesn't hit a bummer. Herb Dean is--I repeat--IS corrupt. Always has been. He's on the take by parent company. That's why he's always given the flagship event Jobs. He plays ball.

Screamingly, patently obvious. Anyone who can't see it needs to grow up and understand how business, and the world, really works.

Yair flinched from a strike that never happened like a 4 year old child. He sucks. Was going to get KO'd stiff.
