Dana White disagrees with NAC, Herb Dean after latest controversy: 'He f*cked up'
Dana White didn't agree with how this call was handled.
On Tuesday, controversy erupted during Dana White's Contender Series 94 when an illegal knee was not called by referee Herb Dean. The Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) subsequently greenlit the move via replay, but UFC President White disagreed with their decision. White stated that Herb Dean has been around for a long time and that he didn't consider him inexperienced.
He firmly declared, "He f*cked up." Despite the circumstances leading to Ian Escuza's victory, White opted to offer him a UFC contract, following the advice of matchmaker Sean Shelby. White criticized the NAC's ruling, asserting that the illegal knee should have resulted in a no contest. He regretted that Sean Shelby may regret his decision.
Four new fighters signed with the UFC - George Staines, Adama Diop, Ian Escuza, and Aieza Bertolso - are now UFC fighters, according to UFC on Paramount+.
