10 Fights That Should Have Been Stopped 

Ortega: keeps wandering off. Herb: How. Many. FINGERS GDAMNIT?! Ortega: I think someone's at the door. I keep hearing the doorbell... I'm gonna go answer it...

Herb: how many fingers am I holding up? Ortega: How the f*ck is that even a question?

How many fingers? Green No orange what? he's good to go.

** figuratively ...Haha hes still alive

@@thehistory5401 jeez you must be fun at parties

🤣🤣🤣🤣❗

Can you pls tell me what the "ten years ago i had a choice" actually means? I'm from England so i'm a bit behind on the MMA lingo but i keep hearing this phrase & i'm baffled as to what it refers too?

@@adeosinowo3197 he has an ad by modelo beer look it up

😭😭😭

😂😂😂

Small fork 😂

Best comment by far 👏😂😂

💀

That's definitely Anthony Smith lol

@@andrewjay7962 Lmao i think you're definitely correct my friend lmao

notice how he's in half of these. he's the worst ref in MMA. yes. his worst stoppages are worse than yamasaki.

Anthony Smith's teeth were falling in the Glover Teixteira fight.

I thought I accidentally rewinded the video

I was making a sandwich with my phone in my pocket. I assumed I just skipped back ten seconds.

BRIEF NOTE BEFORE WE START

@@pandatass4622 same, messed with my mind

Figured I was just having another stroke.

That one was more of a "this fight should have been stopped before it even started" than a "this fight was stopped way too late". Cachoeira had nothing to do in the cage against Valentina. And yes, it's good it was the last time we saw If She Dies, She Dies. No one should take that kind of a beatdown unless they're a rapist in prison

Yea the Brock and Bisping fights shouldn't even be on here....idk what he was thinking

I was expecting it to be #1.

Yup, Anytime Valentina is fighting and no1 has seen her fight. I explain to people that she put a beating on a girl so bad a ref got fired for not stopping it

They literally put a brand new fighter up against one of the most dominant fighters to ever grace the ring and a ref who wouldn't stop a fight if you put a gun to his head. If Valentina didn't change it up and submit her, she wouldn't have a face anymore.

Hahahaha

The officer problem what

T city became Randy Marsh🤣🤣🤣

Lmao “what seems to be the referee, problem?”

I lold.

My buddy mistook Bobby for a latino, and now we all call him Roberto Knucklechez

I remember hearing him speak for the first time and it was the polar opposite of what I thought he would sound like.

I lived in New Zealand and Australia for a few years and heard fans in both countries say he looks like Genghis Khan and now I can't unsee it

Robert Whittaker is a THAVAGE - Mike Tythun

@@bargaintuesday812 it be like that, thats how i felt for anderson silva lol

Facts

Hahaha amazing.

💀

And I clearly saw the tap

While i appreciate this immensely. Tito vs Chael would be a good option in all seriousness.

Ha yeah

What a massacre.

How was that not number 1?😂

That will be on the "Fights that shouldn't have been started" list

@@e.zponder7526 or "fights we can't believe no one died in"

Seriously, who tf made this list and didn't include that?!

Yeah, I'm a little suprised that fight doesn't get brought up more often as an example of a late stoppage. To me it's right up there with Smith/Texiera.

The final round unfortunately overshadows the fact the fight was very competitive from rounds 1 to 3, some of the highest level striking in all of MMA. But Aldo began to wilt in round 4 because his infamous cardio issues came back to haunt him as Yan turned up the pressure.

@@madgavin7568 You're right it was definitely competitive. I even gave one of the earlier rounds to Aldo (I think maybe round 2), and for a while there I was hopeful Aldo could wind back the clock and pull off a miracle.

It should be an honorable mention, along with Silva vs Bisping. Shevchenko vs Cocheira should have been #1, nevernind making the list. 200 significant strikes vs 1. 200:1 significant strike ratio. *Let THAT sink in....*

Spat out my drink

Herb: "what's my name. Ortega: "twinkle twinkle little star" Herb:" HE'S ALRIGHT"

I like this one the most so far

Man. Herb stopped that fight both way to late, and somehow simultaneously to early. He had plenty of chances to stop it early, and then he randomly stepped in while Kris was swinging back.

@@MrJunga best ref in the game tho am I right

@@MrJunga it honestly wasn't a good or bad stoppage. He was clearly still in the fight (while not showing much offense or defense) he was still conscious and was on stable feet. No signs of needing it stopped.

@@mrswizzlestickz2646 the fight should have absolutely be stopped earlier. Problem is herb let all those damaging moments pass only to stop it at a random spot with few seconds left on the clock. Leis threw the last strike in the fight for gods sake

Yeah man there should be some kind of mercy rule.

He was hyped by Rogan as the best. I didn't like him since the Fedor vs Henderson early stoppage.

herb is the worst ref right now

Herb is terrible

Herb is very uneven imo. For the most part he's decent but his off days are very off. All ref makes mistakes though but personally my current fav is Marc.

@@Juel92 Herb's biggest problem is an inability to admit fault. Herzog admitted he fucked up in the Smith-Glover fight. Herb has always defended any bad calls as "actually they were right". That to me is very dangerous, because it shows an unwillingness to learn from mistakes, which might be why his off days are indeed so off. Marc and Herzog are good. I like Peterson and Togoni as well because they actually take points for fouls.

It wasnt even a complete knockdown. He would have stayed on his feet j wobbly had he not slipped, Silva was j confused and walked away

@@Kozycz It was a knockdown.

@@madgavin7568 Knockdown or not it definitely shouldn't have been stopped. I'm really surprised he put it on this list

@@creedbratton4064 Whether it should have been stopped is entirely debatable. I have no dog in that discussion.

@@madgavin7568 no it isn't mike was clearly still there and was showing no signs of being in any danger, he clearly got knocked over by the sheer force of another human crashing into him but he was still completely fine like when costa was able to push romero over with a punch but didn't hurt him at all.

best one

ye' ol' lunch boxes for fists

Carwin’s fists were infamously bigger than Lesnar’s, shame it was shown incorrectly here

I think a lot of people don't realize that the fight had no business being stopped. Covering up doesn't mean a guy is too hurt to continue. Covering up when a 280 pound guy is just continually throwing punches at your face despite the covering up is common sense. What is the biggest reason the fight had no business being stopped is that every time the ref told Brock he had to do something, basically to prove he was still ok, he always made some sort of move to change the position.

Lmfao I love it

Could have been one of those times when you answer too quickly before you process your answer?

Herb: he said a number, good nuff!

Yeah, with the crowds, you probably wouldn't have been able to hear Smith say his teeth were falling out. Without them, you could hear it loud and clear.

Stop the fight!!!

Herb Dean: "Actually what Hardy did was dangerous, but I'll go into that in another video"...never does that. He is probably one of the reasons Hardy got the sack.

@@MrDioXIII he actually did. MMA junkie posted this huge piece that Herb wrote on social media where he went into detail about how what Hardy did was really dangerous, and something about Hardy thinking he was superman. TBH, I think Herb was just upset that someone was trying to tell him how to do his job.

Sho she should’ve just stopped… She’s a grown woman. Just walk out the cage and wave it off.

@@cristobalbalenciaga7295 You may enter the ring sober but after a few hits to the noggin you're drunk and senseless. The corner has a function, they see things from the outside. Haven't you seen Rocky IV? I like bloody mats in MMA as much as the next guy, but I'm saying that fight felt different. Felt wrong that it went on and on.

Has he ever stopped a fight at the right time? Always too early or way too late.

Cant believe he even set in motion Dan Hardy’s termination from the company. That dude was one of the best analysts they had. Now we have Din Thomas, Aljo Sterling and Michael Chiesa sniffing around the desks.

@@sgtking666 He used to, but age seems to have made him incredibly hesitant. With Mazzagatti or Yamasaki you knew they were going to let it go on too late. With Herb, he's all over the place. Sometimes too slow, sometimes too early, other times he should call it but doesn't so he just calls it later when he shouldn't. Some times he's not involved at all with fouls/cheating, other times too involved. Worst part about him is his complete refusal to admit that he fucked up. Herzog apologised and admitted fault for the Glover-Smith fight. Not once has Herb Dean ever said that the calls he made are wrong. That is the most dangerous part to me, it's the sign of someone who is unwilling to learn from their mistakes, which might explain why they keep happening now.

@@MrDioXIII tbh man i used to think it was just herb being past his prime so to speak, but now I kinda think that herb is just an outdated ref. He doesn't fit in with the way fights are expected to be stopped nowadays with the way fighter safety is now taken more seriously. He hesitates for sure thats that's fact. But I think it's cuz he's not good at stopping it unless the guy is literally out out and getting pounded on, which back in his heyday was just expected before a ref would stop it. I think the sport passed herb, and it's time for him to step down. Definitely seems like he's got some nervous energy anytime he's thinking about stopping it, it used to just look natural for him.

@@JD_13 What does Aljo Sterling have on Dana? Man can go almost a year without defending after a DQ win and still get paid doing analysis?

The creator was probably afraid of backlash (as idiots in the mma community felt like moutinho should’ve get butchered for 20 more seconds)

Ooooh no notes, thanks editor

The bisbing take was a little off.

Plus repeating lines, that's almost all vids though so idk if they are doing that on purpose at this point or what

Look up Valentina vs Cachoeira. That's the major note from the top of my head. If you're not familiar it's 95 significant strikes to 2 with 84% accuracy with 8:32 seconds of ground control in a 9:25 length "fight". It's the fight that got Yamasaki (the ref) fired and blacklisted from the UFC.

@@Juel92 will do thanks

Came to the comments to see if I could find this one, or mention it myself. Definitely worse than a lot of these entries.

Lol the only momentum shift was in the third with Ortega's sub attempts. Besides that it was a one sided beat down that should have been stopped after the third.

One solid sub attempt really didn't change anything.

Agree completely.

This fight should have been top three. Aldo wasn’t defending himself. I guess the ref was giving him a chance to comeback but Aldo must have had a concussion no way he didn’t after that many hits

Saint Denis vs dos Santos was insane

And also silva is the one that walked off and celebrated while the fight itself kept going,

Fr, he got flashed.

@@dokidokideathproof i just watched it on my fight pass, disagree, dont see the evidence.. Him falling isn't close to proof....

Yeah I thought that entry was a bit unfair

Bisping talked about it himself on his channel, he wasn't knocked out cold

Agree. I reckon the yan vs aldo fight should have been on the list before these 2 fights

Bisping was KO'd. Simple as that.

If you're problem is someone's voice theres something wrong with you.

Same here

@@TheSpectacledSteve It’s not just his voice.. he’s not funny at all and the videos he usually does are stupid topics
