While this past weekend was full of impressive MMA action, not all of it
was conducted according to UFC president Dana White’s liking.
At Saturday night’s UFC 139 event, White watched first-hand as referee
Dan Stell was slow to halt a Chris Weidman choke that
rendered Tom Lawlor unconscious.
Following the event, White said he’s tired of referees who appear slow
on the trigger and pointed to another near disaster – Ronda Rousey’s
mangling of fellow Strikeforce fighter Julia Budd’s arm – as a sign of
necessary improvement.
