                    <p>To his credit, Dana White is the first to praise a referee for doing a great job in a fight, but at UFC 182 White was also quick to criticize Herb Dean for his role in the main event between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier:</p>

Herb Dean is still UFC President Dana White’s favorite referee, despite a “horrible effort” in the fifth round of the epic light heavyweight title fight between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier at UFC 182.

“Herb Dean, I always talk about him; I think he’s my favorite referee. He did a horrible job in the fifth round,” White said in a post-fight interview on FOX. “He let them clinch, literally for five minutes, but other than that, it was an amazing fight.”

It's not enough to criticise fighters, he has to go after refs too. Herb is my hero! Phone Post 3.0

I don't think he did a bad job at all. If they're working, let them clinch. Phone Post 3.0

4

Shut up, Dana. Phone Post 3.0

5

Last time I checked it wasn't illegal to clinch. It was a grind by both fighters, let them fight. Nobody was stalling.

6

I disagree, he did what randy did for YEARS.

He did fine, and they worked for the most part, it was just one sided. Phone Post 3.0

In that 5th I was also thinking it would be better if Herb broke it up a bit more. Don't see anything wrong with what dfw said. Phone Post 3.0

Because more than half the fight took place in the clinch and neither were stalling. That's a part of fighting. Phone Post 3.0

Pay the fighters more then!! You pay em for 3 Rds and you got 4!!

Should be grateful. Phone Post 3.0

Shit like this is why I am glad Dana isn't allowed to ref fights. For a guy who has been in this business as long as he has you would think he might learn something about fighting from time to time.

11

Herb's awesome at what he does.

His interest is making money, herbs is to make sure rules are followed and fighters are safe. Phone Post 3.0

Stop asking this guy's opinion. Phone Post 3.0

NewOldTRT09er - If Dana doesn't like clinching why doesn't he fuck off back to boxing where he allegedly came from. Phone Post 3.0
Errrr, they clinch in boxing. Phone Post 3.0

15

A little too much stalemating against the fence for my liking, but Dana's exaggerating as usual. Literally 5 minutes, huh? Phone Post 3.0

A Real Life OGer - The 5th round was a hugging match. The dana haters dont want to admit he's right. It was a shitty way to end such a sick fight. I rather see 2 guys really going for it like Gus and Jones did in the 5th, or Weidman/Machida. Phone Post 3.0
I agree Phone Post 3.0

'I would never bag Herb Dean, but he let them cuddle for 6 minutes in the 5th round. Dickmunch"

- Dana

Herb was probably distracted by a guy in a yellow shirt in the crowd, while he thought to himself "I hope he doesn't try to take a pic with me later" Phone Post 3.0

CapnKindBud - So you guys liked that fifth round huh?
Anything to disagree with white lol Phone Post 3.0
The 5tg round was no different than dc vs Mir. Or the game plan Hendrix just used vs lawler. Just this time, the fighter Dana wanted to win lost. Phone Post 3.0
