That is like right up there for #1 a ref should be banned for eternity, I was watching that live and there is no :stare: blowing out more :stare: out of its eyesockets big enough to capture my feelings second by second.

This is the opposite of Mac Danzig - Matt Wiman I, and as much flack as Lavigne got for that call, this is a solid reminder of why the ref needs to err on the side of safety, and why what Lavigne did was correct based on the information he had.

That's close to the worst thing I've ever seen watching MMA. Including leg breaks, cyborgs skull, etc. What an absolutely terrible ref.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

To me it just sounds like the ref, Alan, will learn from this and that its no different from a simple error when he risked a fighter dying. It's a bit blase to me.

What response would you rather Goddard have, disown the guy he trained and call for his immediate ban from officiating?

No.

He's acknowledged the error. What else could he say?

Edit: bluedeanie worded it better than I did.

Competing ref schools should have a commercial where they play that finish in its entirety and then have a pop up that says, hey, don't go to Marc's

Perhaps given that he literally nearly killed someone. This thread sure has flipped from "this man should never officiate again" to "oh Marc Goddard should be defending this man why be so hard on Marc Goddard"

Helwani is reporting that Chael Sonnen tried to volunteer to fight Fedor with just hours notice and Bellator tried to make it happen, but it didn't come together.
