What is your opinion on the Ortiz/Shamrock fight on Saturday?
Herb Dean ( the ref) did the right thing. He has to protect the fighters at all times. On the replay Shamrock was clearly not doing anything to protect himself...he wasn't answering the punches, nor was he covering his head. He wasn't even holding on to Ortiz in an attempt to shift position.


Herb Dean was the only one who saw Tim Sylvia's arm break in the fight against Frank Mir when he stopped that fight. Everyone else saw it on the replay - then had to agree that it was the right decision.


Lots of fighters immediately get up after being momentarily stunned or knocked out - it doesn't mean that they weren't knocked out. Five hits went unanswered and Dean did his job.








It did seem premature compared to the earlier fight that night that was so bloody and compared to the older UFC fights that went on longer. UFC rules have changed to better protect fighters - and unfortunately because of that, situations like the other night sometimes happen.





Personally I wanted Shamrock to win, so I was disappointed by the call, but I can't fault the ref, he did the right thing.
