#2 The Excellent Refereeing from the Co-Main Event

UFC 229: Ferguson v Pettis
UFC 229: Ferguson v Pettis

If the refereeing of Herb Dean was once again called into question following the main event of Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov, the refereeing for the co-main event was equally praised.

Jason Herzog was as on top of the fight as one could be.

The moment that Ferguson was cut open he was on the spot. He stopped the fight in the middle of the 2nd round to clear the blood and have the cut of Ferguson checked out. He wiped the foreheads of both fighters, making sure their vision was not obscured by any blood.

He also asked multiple times and allowed the verbal submission of Anthony Pettis, who had broken one of his hands during the fight.
