AUSTIN, Texas – Dana White says referee Kerry Hatley regrets his “very bad” stoppage in Jalin Turner vs. Bobby Green at UFC on ESPN 52.
The MMA community was infuriated after Hatley allowed Green (31-15-1 MMA, 12-10-1 UFC) to take a prolonged string of additional shots after he was knocked down by Turner (14-7 MMA, 7-4 UFC) in the opening round of the lightweight co-headliner at Moody Center.
UFC CEO White could only agree, but said unlike past referees he’s taken serious issues with, Hatley expressed remorse for his inaction post-fight.
