This bettor lost significant cash on one of the biggest upsets in UFC history

Yikes!

A bettor put $25,000 on the line to win $1,775 during UFC Fight Night on Saturday, and that bettor lost, according to The Action Network’s Darren Rovell.

For the women’s flyweight division on Saturday, the bettor saw Mariya Agapova (-1400) as such an overwhelming favorite that it was worth putting all that money on the line to make such a small sum. But Shana Dobson caused problems for Agapova in the octagon — which, in turn, caused major issues for the bettor in the sports books. That bettor played victim to one of the biggest upsets in UFC history.

Dobson finished the fight in the second round by taking Agapova to the ground and delivering sequence of strikes to the head, which forced the referee to call the fight for a truly stunning result.

What an exiting outcome for Dobson. But for the bettor? Yikes.

UFC commentators, fighters call out referee Herb Dean for not stopping fights soon enough

There was some serious controversy on the UFC prelim card on Saturday.

UFC referee Herb Dean is one of the most experienced and recognizable referees in the sport of MMA, but after two controversial late stoppages on the prelim card of a UFC Fight Night event on Fight Island Saturday night, UFC commentators and fighters watching the show openly criticized Dean’s inaction.

The first contested finish came in a heavyweight bout between Tanner Boser and Raphael Pessoa. Pessoa took a blow to the eye and fell back to the canvas, allowing Boser to pounce and unload while Pessoa made no effort to escape or fight back. Dean didn’t wave off the bout until Boser had connected with nine consecutive shots with Pessoa on the ground.

Later in the card, lightweight Francisco Trinaldo dropped Jai Herbert with a shot to the top of the head, which appeared to knock Herbert out before he hit the ground. Trinaldo hesitated with Herbert on the ground unprotected, but Dean did not signal that the fight was over, forcing Trinaldo to pummel a dazed Herbert until Dean finally stopped the bout. Commentator Dan Hardy screamed “stop the fight!” on the broadcast just before Dean stepped in to protect Herbert. Paul Felder said that the late stoppage pissed him off.

UFC fighters and fans took to Twitter to call out Dean on the dangerously late stoppages.
