Henry Cejudo advises Kamaru Usman to not have Herb Dean ref his fight

Dominance MMA have had a grudge against Herb since the Conor-Khabib fight. He is kind of the reason Kamaru got knocked out though, but Kamaru needs to know how to not stall because he never gets anything going in the clinch, he has zero submissions on his record.

I hope that Herb does ref it and I hope that he breaks them up everytime kamaru holds Leon against the cage for 30 seconds without doing anything, just like the ref is supposed to do.

Hopefully this time Herb notices Kamarus holding the fence in the clinch

Can fighters call for a red not to be in charge of their fight? That sounds awful fishy

Yes, they agree on the ref before hand

Herb was Kamaru’s best friend for the third fight

And he was the 1st fight for the most part. Herb really sucks these past 3 or 4 years.

What’d you think of the point deduction?

Imho, that point deduction was entirely justified.

I was rooting for Edwards, but that was definitely game changing fenceholding.

I didnt agree with Bisping saying that you dont get the point and the position.

Totally agreed with it also. After seeing last week’s card and 3 blatant fence holds in 2 rounds with zero repercussions, may have been Herbs reason for no warning on it.

No warning needed…we/they all know the rules.

Imho, most fence holding is involuntary instinct

The no grabing fence rule is just one of the “imperfections” of the fight game.

I do think using toes in fence should be allowed.

Didn’t have an issue with it.
