Dana White seems to be losing patience with Herb Dean's recent performances. Accused of making controversial decisions in important UFC fights, the referee has once again come under fire after stopping the fight between King Green and Esteban Ribovics at UFC 332. The situation angered the organization's president.
In a press conference, Dana White once again commented on Herb Dean's performance and gave a rather negative assessment of the referee's current form. According to the UFC president, Dean is having a particularly bad year.

The controversial moment happened in the first round. King Green impressed with his dodging, 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.
Subsequently, Ribovics approached to provoke Green, but ended up being pushed by Herb Dean, who forced him out of the octagon. The scene quickly drew attention and became one of the most curious moments of UFC 332.
