Thank you Joe Rogan.Herb Dean is the best in the business
It wasn't as bad as people make it out to be. It was a tad awkward looking. But Rozenstruik was hurt bad, ate multiple shots, and was turtling like a kid on the playground. You tie the refs hands when you do that as the recipient. The only thing that made him look ok standing up at the end was Dean stopped Volkov's advance long enough to let rozenstruik stand up. And even when he did he still didn't even look like he was there mentally. The stoppage was fine.I didn't mind last nights stoppage.

The Volkov/Rozenstruik stoppage was ultimately a good one (even though Rozenstruik was only stunned he was on a knee not fighting back eating a 10-piece combo from a fresh heavyweight), but just a few fights earlier he let Menifield elbow Mozharov's head off the canvas like a basketball a half-dozen times before stopping it when the dude was likely done after the second or third elbow.
What's weird is when a guy is stunned by a punch he'll kind of panic-rush in to almost stop it, but when someone is eating hellacious GnP with no chance of escape he's content to let that person get pounded into oblivion without seeming like he's going to leap in and save them from extra punishment.
Just wildly inconsistent depending on the fighter or the situation, you really never know what Herb Dean is going to show up.
He didnt want out, he wanted his mouthpiece back.You can't think of every stoppage as "what if that was Edgar Maynard"
I agree Herb is a bad ref, but that wasn't a bad call. A lot of MMA fans get mad at a fight being stopped just because there's a 1/1000 chance there's some crazy comeback... I'd much rather let these guys live to fight another day. Roz was done, he crouched down and covered up, all the body language of someone who wanted out.
He was conceived in the produce sectionIm curious how he got the name Herb
Roz said himself after the fight he wasn't done. He was trying to block those shots and then get away to reset. Losing the mouthpiece made it look worse than it was. You could tell the second Herb stopped it that Roz wanted to keep going.You can't think of every stoppage as "what if that was Edgar Maynard"

Tell that to Raphael Pessoa when he fought Tanner BoserHe stops women's fights and HW fights way too early
Scared someone might get hurt...
Lol yeah, he said that after the fact to give himself an excuse for the loss.Roz said himself after the fight he wasn't done. He was trying to block those shots and then get away to reset.

He knows you don't stop the fight while you're hurt to get your mouthpiece lol.He didnt want out, he wanted his mouthpiece back.
There was a guy next to the cage eating pizza and he got distracted.He knows you don't stop the fight while you're hurt to get your mouthpiece lol.
He wanted out.
