Irish fighter Kiefer Crosbie has blasted tenured UFC referee Marc Goddard after an illegal knee contributed to a contentious defeat in Shanghai.
Taking on Chinese UFC debutant Taiyilake Nueraji (12-1), Crosbie succumbed to a first-round finish against the home favourite. However, the stoppage came moments after the prospect was deducted two points when he struck a downed Crosbie with a knee.
