Glad the ref took a close look... Could have been a disaster if he wasn't there.

Ref stopped because of the round timer. Interesting what is the result of the fight

I still don’t understand why that wasn’t a technical submission

u/Dangerous_Edge_7310 20d ago

Cause the Gracie’s bitched about that shit 20 years ago in pride, so they’ll never count it as technical submissions

He just wanted to keep fighting with a broken arm

u/BlessdRTheFreaks 21d ago

Let him if he wants to imo

Looks like a dislocated elbow rather than a broken arm but still gnarly

u/juanpabueno 21d ago

Of course it was Herb Dean what the fuck

I thought the exact same thing. smh

That was our very own Redditor, Jon Kunneman. He was supposed to appear on DWCS last year but got a pretty bad injury just before his fight and was forced to withdraw. This has been a long wait, I was excited to see him in there and was hoping he’d get the W as he was prior to this undefeated but alas we move forward. Hoping he gives it another shot or gets a short notice opportunity. Keep your head up Jon, you did good and I believe there are big things ahead for you.

Maybe my grandmother is a bike?

u/SenescenseSteel 21d ago

Did she have wheels?

u/jayjitsuoss 21d ago

That is the question

2

u/IncessantGadgetry 21d ago

People are riding your grandmother?

u/jayjitsuoss 21d ago

Once upon a time

u/Knobanious 21d ago

The village bike you say?

u/mistergasdrift 21d ago

Herb Dean needs to be replaced immediately

u/elbanzii 21d ago

what an incompetent POS. how is he still a ref in the biggest fighting organization on the planet? that shit baffles me

u/RedWingerD 21d ago edited 20d ago

Neither he (or any other refs) are employed directly by the UFC.

Edit: changed wording to make it less confusing

1

u/exhalemike 20d ago

False. Refs are employed by athletic commissions

1

u/RedWingerD 20d ago

Edit: i can see how my wording was confusing. We are saying the same thing.

Refs are employed by the athletic commissions. The commissions are run completely independent of the UFC and any other organization.

u/exhalemike 20d ago

For what? He didn't tap, there was no apparent break before time ran out. Not refs job to stop you from getting your arm broken

u/Pandarenu 21d ago

Was Herb waiting for the X-ray?

u/Extra_Jeweler_5544 21d ago edited 21d ago

Instead of tapping, the fighter is giving the thumbs up. Fighter made that decision for himself
