It’s rare for MMA referees to speak about their job performance or provide explanations about their actions in the cage. However, veteran referee Herb Dean is one of the few.
Dean came under fire by people on social media and even UFC commentators Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier for several of his actions while officiating Merab Dvalishvili vs. Sean O'Malley bantamweight title fight – which headlined UFC 306 at Sphere in Las Vegas on Sept. 14.
