Dan Hardy took issue with another stoppage from referee Herb Dean.

Dean came under fire for failing to stop the Marina Rodriguez vs. Amanda Ribas fight on the UFC 257 main card yesterday while the former was unloading ground and pound on the latter after dropping her.

While Dean stepped in, he didn’t make contact, but it appeared he had stopped the fight as Rodriguez stepped away to celebrate. When she realized the fight was still ongoing, she returned to fight a still-dazed Ribas and ultimately finished her soon after with more strikes.

The second stoppage was certainly a good one, but all those extra strikes were unnecessary as many observers felt it should have been stopped the first time.

Hardy was among them as he took to social media after the event.

“Jesus… Here we are again. An elbow and a power punch that weren’t necessary. From #GoldStandard to #OldStandard#KnowYourJob”

It’s not the first time Hardy has complained of Dean’s refereeing.

Most recently, he ripped into Dean for his late stoppage of the Francisco Trinaldo vs. Jai Herbert fight last summer which led to the pair going at it online.

It should certainly be interesting to see if Dean responds again this time.

What did you make of Dean’s refereeing during the fight?

Marina Rodriguez Finishes Amanda Ribas With Second Round Strikes – UFC 257 Highlights

Brazilian striker, Marina Rodriguez is back with a vengeance. Battling in an all-Brazilian affair against compatriot, Amanda Ribas, Rodriguez was tasked with dispatching one of the most highly-touted prospects around right now. Dropping the opening round on the judge’s scorecards, Rodriguez rallied with a massive step-in elbow in the second round goings, dropping Ribas before […]

Dropping the opening round on the judge’s scorecards, Rodriguez rallied with a massive step-in elbow in the second round goings, dropping Ribas before referee, Herb Dean appeared to step in and call a halt to the action. As Rodriguez wheeled away, Dean insisted the fight wasn’t over, as Ribas looked to regain her composure.

Following up with some damaging shots on the feet, Rodriguez eventually stopped Ribas on the feet with a right and then left hand combination.

Rebounding from a close split decision loss to inaugural strawweight champion, Carla Esparza back in July on ‘Fight Island’ — Rodriguez knocks back 27-year-old Minas Gerais grappler, Ribas.

Dropping to 10-2, Ribas had managed prior Octagon wins over Emily Whitmire, Mackenzie Dern, Randa Markos, and Paige VanZant.

Amanda Ribas Reflects On ‘Amazing’ Breakthrough Year In 2020

While 2020 was a year to forget for most of the world, it was a memorable one for UFC women’s strawweight Amanda Ribas.

While 2020 was a year to forget for most of the world, it was a memorable one for UFC women’s strawweight Amanda Ribas.

The Brazilian went 2-0 in the calendar year after a unanimous decision win over Randa Markos at UFC Brasilia in March before a first-round submission win over Paige VanZant in their high-profile matchup at UFC 251 in July.

As a result, she is now in the top 10 of the strawweight rankings and ahead of her upcoming UFC 257 fight with Marina Rodriguez on January 23, she reflected on what was a breakout year.

“It was a crazy year,” Ribas told MMA Fighting. “It was different because the UFC [in] Brasilia was the first event without the public and then I fought on the Island—which was crazy and beautiful. It was crazy in a bad way because of the pandemic, but it was good for me.

“I’m blessed to have those fights on my record, I’m blessed to have my training, my [training] partners, my health. So it’s been an amazing year for me.”

Ribas was originally set to face Carla Esparza at UFC 256 before being slated to fight Michelle Waterson at UFC 257. Both fights didn’t end up panning out with Rodriguez instead stepping in for the injured Waterson.

And Ribas is now training with her last opponent in VanZant in preparation for Rodriguez. VanZant would depart the UFC following her defeat to Ribas and is now signed with Bare Knuckle FC (BKFC).

“It’s really different because my last camp was to fight against her, and now she’s helping me in this camp, and I’m helping her for her [BKFC] boxing,” Ribas said. “It’s cool. It’s amazing and we can show everybody that it’s professional. I’m not mad at her, she’s not mad at me. It’s professional.

“If she can help me, yes she will. If I can help her, I will help her. We are martial artists. We’re artists, not just crazy people throwing punches at each other. We are athletes. It’s amazing.”

As for VanZant signing with BKFC, it surprised many in the combat sports world. However, Ribas believes only certain kinds of fighters can compete in bare knuckle boxing and VanZant is one of them.

Not to mention that she will also be paid very lucratively.

“She’s a really smart girl,” Ribas added. “She has a really big heart and, I think for her, it will be good because no one who has a weak heart, or is a little scared, can fight like that without gloves. For her, I think it will be a big step to get money because they pay her really good. I think it will be really good.”

Do you think Ribas is a future champion?
