Jason Herzog, the referee who officiated the fight between Nassurdin Imavov and Jared Cannonnier, commented on the barrage of criticism that has been directed at him following the controversial stoppage of that fight.
"I understood and accepted everything. I know WHAT I saw in that moment. But I've gotten enough feedback saying I have to reconsider my decision. So I will," Herzog wrote on social media.
Recall, Herzog stopped Cannonnier's fight with Imavov in the fourth round, crediting Imavov with an early victory. After that, he was heavily criticized by mixed martial arts fans.
