Jamal Hill, former UFC bantamweight champion, believes referee Herb Dean influenced his loss in his fight against Alex Pereira, the promotion's reigning bantamweight champion.
"The judges tell you to always defend yourself and then they tell you to obey their commands. When that happened, I got the stoppage. The referee said stop before he interfered, that's why I stopped. You could see Pereira further started to approach after that, and I myself at that point was trying to make sure he was okay. I would like to see Hurb Dean's actions be more clear and the stop or continue to be more specific. Next time I'll think about whether I should obey the ref's commands," Hill said on The Schmo's YouTube channel.
