Heavyweight Marcos Rogerio de Lima scored the biggest win of his UFC career at UFC Vegas 42, unfortunately, it did not come without some controversy. Although it had nothing to do with the Brazilian’s performance, the bout was marred by yet another hesitant stoppage from veteran referee Herb Dean.
In an interview with Ag Fight, ‘Pezao’ explained he did not feel Herb’s first touch on his back in the heat of the moment while he trained to finish Ben Rothwell. In fact, had ‘Big Ben’ not gone down, which led to a harder intervertion from Dean’s part, Rogerio’s only plan was to keep on hitting his opponent.
