The preliminary card fight between Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos and Benoit Saint-Denis at UFC 267 this past Saturday was marred by controversy, and it is because of the horrendous refereeing of one Vyacheslav Kiselev.
Kiselev made a series of questionable decisions during the welterweight contest that endangered Saint-Denis and confused Zaleski dos Santos. The second round saw Zaleski dos Santos hurt and batter Saint-Denis, who endured a ton of damage that should have been more than enough to warrant a stoppage from the referee. Alas, no stoppage was made, and the promotional newcomer managed to survive the brutal onslaught to get to the third round.
