  "account": "UFC referee Dan Miragliotta's decision to stop Renato Moicano's back control in the main event of UFC Fight Night 292 has sparked controversy. Moicano claims that the boos from the crowd at Meta APEX influenced Miragliotta's ruling, causing him to reset the fighters to their feet. The lightweight headliner saw Moicano dominate Nolan in Round 2, but after the referee's decision, Moicano was knocked out in the subsequent round. Moicano, during an interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, expressed his belief that the crowd's reaction played a significant role in Miragliotta's decision, stating that referees are human and susceptible to emotions. Despite the incident, Moicano has decided not to appeal the result with the Nevada State Athletic Commission, choosing to move on from the experience.",
