Ultimate Star, Jorge masvidal has a personal problem with Herb Dean, the organization's refereeing standout. Always sharp in his statements, 'Jesus das Ruas' decided to give his opinion on the work of the driver, present in the main fight of the UFC Las Vegas 56. For the 'bad boy', there are questions about the professional's competence.

“I’m not a fan of Herb Dean. (…) We had some problems and my struggles with Donald Cerrone (2017) and Jake ellenberger (2016) were some of them. I don't think I'm among his favorite fighters, but he's not among my favorite referees either,” admitted Masvidal, in an interview with 'The MMA Hour'.

Although he pointed out two occasions in which he considers Dean's work questionable, a possible stumble happened recently, according to Jorge. 'Jesus das Ruas' recalls an episode in the clash against Colby covington in which he points out an error by Herb.

“He did some strange things. Clearly, Covington dealt low blows (in the UFC 272). I'm not saying it would change the outcome, but he (Colby) threw intentional low blows and Herb didn't do anything about it.”

A recurring figure in Ultimate events, Dean was criticized by fans for his decisive participation in the UFC's main fight. UFC Las Vegas 56. In the confrontation between Alexander Volkov e Jairzinho Rozenstruik, some of the spectators accused the referee of interrupting the clash prematurely.
