Herb Dean was involved in yet another unusual moment in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) octagon. The referee, frequently questioned for his decisions in important fights for the organization, was responsible for officiating the bout between King Green and Esteban Ribovics at UFC 332 and ended up stealing the spotlight by "removing" the Argentinian from the cage immediately after his brutal knockout of the veteran.
The unusual moment happened in the first round. King Green impressed with his dodging skills, but ended up being surprised by a cross from Ribovics. Realizing his opponent was shaken, the Argentinian picked up the pace and began to punish him until Herb Dean stopped the fight.
