Herb Dean talks Kimbo/ Nelson stoppage

[jaymes303]

Herb Dean is the man

[xxXSCARFACEXxxx]

what a herb

[2jzgteSupraJZA80]

Herb Dean = best ref in MMA...although I'm a huge Fedor fan, he made the right call to stop the fight when Hendo KO'd Fedor .....MUCH RESPECT TO HERB DEAN! 

[SpinningBackFists]

BEST REF EVER

[weedsmoker476]

herb u da man



[joeguy02]

Can't hate on the guy. He fights as well.

[Super8astard]

The 3 unanswered blows thing is one of the most rediculous assumptions I've ever heard. I wonder who the fuck told him that cause he's clearly not smart enough to make shit up on his own.

[permos12345]

Get a new interviewer, this one sucked.

After herb answered the 3 blow question, he just asked it again

[mmatheuss15]

Herb is tha man, he had saved too many fighters on his history of MMA, I can't say the same thing about Steve Mazzagatti.......

[savagenomore]

Herb did the right thing, he saw a fighter that was in a position for a second time that he wasn't going to get out of because that fighter was saved by the bell the first time round...go call...

[yorkshirerepresenter]

THA DEAN OF HERB!!!

[StoneyFreshify]

Herb Dean = coolest name on the planet.

[ishnookie]

hey interviewer! don't quit your day job just yet.. and stay away from anything that concerns MMA..

[deadseason2]

best ref

[DoubleCrossedPaths]

Well put by Herb. I don't get where the "3 unanswered punches" thing came from either.

And why on Earth are people fighting about being Atheists or not here? It's not relevant. Stop spamming up the comments so that we can see the ones that are legitimate. First we argue about who's religious and how they're wrong, now we argue about who isn't? Go find a religious forum. Get that crap outta here.

[demonfire08]

He is the best ref ever

[Kodyman15]

He's still the best Ref.

[Chakchi34]

Herb Dean is the Ref

Herb dean is the man

[donkeyhoti]

herb dean is a fucking animal

[KNOWGrant]

Being the representation of steadiness no matter what people say is a hard task!

[WarBob56565]

herrrrdb deaaaaaan

[jasonatme]

only ref in sports i got my picture taken with! lol

[BJJLH]

Herb Dean -- is the best referee of all . . no doubt

[theguybelowmefarted]

my friend is herb dean's nephew lol.. he lives in pasadena and he teaches at the fight academy in pasadena.. which i think is teh place he's getting interviewed in

[angeriod]

@theguybelowmefarted does herb smoke weed lol. He is a teacher? Hes not the best fighter but really good ref

[suicidedboi]

no no no..wait.. i know! i know! herb dean tokes a Ja-spliff and then spends hours and hours on his favorite conspiracy theory sites. herb, what your handle on ATS? we'll hook up.

[suicidedboi]

herb dean seems like he smokes alot of weed and then plays dungeons and dragons on his computer. definately the "most likeable" ref.

[LakaiGuy931]

@suicidedboi lmao haha funniest comment I've ever seen

[SuperGonggong]

hey little jacob what up rasta?

[andy4009]

There is something quite annoying about this kid doing the interview.

[kpf63954]

this interviewer is a fool.

[SolidGawD]

kimbo had every chance that herb gave him to continue fighting, kimbo's lack of ground skills is the real reason why the fight was boring. a very good stoppage by herb dean and nelson proved too eveyone that kimbo is all hype.

[KH1523]

dana shuld invest money on trying to make herb dean clones that way MMA will be better a lot lot better it'll also help the sport grow too

[GSXraja]

SMOKE DA HERB

[shadowloks2292]

Herb Dean Is The Best He Gives A Fighter Alot Of Chances If There Getting There Butt Kikced Like Lesnar And Carwin Fight

[LightninLew]

i think he was right to stop it because kimbo was doing nothing and could not get out of the position, but i dont like Nelson for winning this way, he didnt even hurt or submit kimbo such a boring fight. i know Nelson wants to win, not just entertain people, but still. he did just sit on him and slap his head, harly world class fighting.

[timmyxdl]

Those weren't blows, they were love taps from Roy Nelson...Kimbo wasn't even phased by it...The stoppage was good.

[iamthemoneyj]

I fuckin' love Herb Dean

[foo3rdstrike]

KIMBO REALLY DOES SUCK!!!!

[dafuksup]

it was a good stoppage. how can anyone say it wasnt? kimbo was not properly defending himself AT ALL so herb dean had no choice but to stop it. the rules state that a fighter must intelligently defend themselves at all times and to stop it if not.

[hahahehedaddypeepee]

some refs let unanswered blows go longer based on the fighter, some can take more blows then others, big nog for example, i'm sure if arlovkski got punched a few times herb would call it.

[Watchmaker9]

Herb Dean is a class act.

[residentevilfanz1]

favs are "Big" John Mccarthy and Josh Rosenthal

[blase7654321]

my two fave reffs are herb dean and josh rosenthal.....

[thnk4urself]

a stoppage by TKO is defined by an opponent not defending himself intelligently to strikes. Josh Rosenthal needs to write this rule down

[eggnoy]

he sounds like Muhammad ali

[eggnoy]

he sounds like steven seagull

[bigbadbrainz]

Yves lavigne is the worst dude remember the Danzig wiman fight

[leprechaunjames]

@bigbadbrainz remember when he tripped during a fight? hahaha

[sisudo21]

Best = Herb Dean

Worst = Steve Mazagatti

[iljrr808]

herb dean is a fighgter too lol

[NovemberDoom88]

Herb is not only the best ref in MMA ever but he even knows how to answer stupid questions like these, smart all-around guy.

[TheeDevilWearsPrada]

Uhh what? Kimbo/ Nelson stoppage wasn't controversial you dumb fuck interviewer. Why the fuck would u ask him about the kimbo nelson fight? He did nothing wrong. Fucking dipshit. Some people in this world are so fucking retarded. pisses me off.

[TheScore22]

@TheeDevilWearsPrada holy shit, take the sand out your vagina.

[MotionOfTheStop]

I love herb dean.

Such a class act.

[apocalypse123]

3 unanswered blows? What is this guy smoking?

[pass1144]

great man great words

[jables8806]

The three unanswered blows "rule" would be fucking ridiculous.

[SuperPanthour]

Herb deans has nice voice...

[AndyDrewww]

Theres some mean dudes on the internet

Go Herb Dean

[EvolvedParadigm]

interviewer = idiot 

[isabiggles1]

Herb Dean is the fucking king. He was my first MMA hero.

[Jarrodmontelius]

dont worry herb, your the best reff, fuck these internet kids

[drgdrf]

Herb Dean is a fagget. He likes to suck men. I would easily knock him out.

[IhateMEXILANA]

@drgdrf you my friend are a youtube attention whore...

[warguy911]

@drgdrf You are a horrible troll.. You fail. Fucking little kid. It's spelled "faggot" you fucking idiot.

[drgdrf]

@warguy911 Just shut up. He's a sissy.

[Saftenthafter01]

herb dean did nothing wrong ..............

[ralfmalf420]

the reason why herb dean is the best referee in the buisness is cause, first of all he smokes weed and second is he used to be a fighter, he knows the game more than any mma ref. plus he smokes weed

[AlphaRicDom]

herb dean is the man. if I ever make it into the cage I want him to ref all my fights.

[Shadybest]

Herb Dean is a pimp!

[Ikiendangi]

herb the smoker dean.

[SethMcFartlane]

Herb Dean is black?!

[yammyUFC4life]

nelson was hittin kimbo like a total pussy my dead grandmother hits harder. They were doing no damage to kimbo, but he had no answer to the crucifix position.

P.S. Herb Dean is the best!

[leobdope]

YEEEE fuckin herb dean is tha MAN! him and Dan Mirgliata!

[evilscotsman88]

"The kids on the internet" Fuckin 'ey man !!! too true

[jazzaking]

Herb dean is never wrong. Ever

[97Mrlespaul]

my two favorite refs are big john and herb dean

[abby161919]

heard dean is my favorit rap star!

[KincadesTV]

Is Herd Dean ever wrong?

[RichhRichh]

herb dean is a fucking g lol

[crafty112]

like he said the first round wasn't much time in between kimbo getting caught in that position. the second round he would of been getting pounded on for 5 minutes lol he had to stop it.

[kryptman40k]

This interviewer sucks.

[RedRaider8493]

A lot of kids on the internet had something to say to Herb Dean lmfao

hes such a champion luv this guy

[fooseye]

Imagine how cool smoking some Herb with the Dean would be!

[artace1987]

He's a GREAT ref. I've never seen him make a bad judgement.

[sactownsgreatest]

herb dean has an epic name

[smack429]

@sactownsgreatest herb dean the dean of herb

[thiel18]

I completely agree with Herb Dean on this one... The punches Nelson threw did not have much power, and i don't think Kimbo was particually hurt.

[Magic310]

@thiel18 IT was good stoppage. Roy was throwing alot of punches and all the other stupid as fighters were counting and shit. But it was like taps to the head for real. Notice how Roy was really pounding on McSweeney and he stopped it when it had to be stopped. Ever since Big John left, Herb Dean is the best ref now. And three unanswered blows, lol sounds so stupid.

[martinimvu]

@thiel18 But kimbo had no chance of getting Nelson off lol.

[thiel18]

@martinimvu which of course was why the fight was eventually stopped... im just saying that it should not be stopped before, as some suggest

[djdeuceflush]

like he said dude, he couldn't let Kimbo sit there and take that for 5 minutes! If you even watched the fight, dude wasn't movin from that position! Good call Herb!

[Firearm101]

fight should not have been stopped, ther was no danger toward kimbo at all, the fat fuck was scared so he lay on him looking for a tko, who the fuck looks for a tko

[monksters1]

@Firearm101 that fat uck would tear you apart

[ryguy98]

@Firearm101 ya, so would you rather have seen a decision after 2 more rounds of nelson lying on kimbo?

[rand0mlyrand0m]

Best referee in the world

[d3v1n90]

i love herb dean hes the best reff

[str8edge18]

This fight was a joke, shows how much Kimbo needs to improve on his MMA Skills because MMA is Mix Martal Arts, not street fighting so hey, that wasnt an early stoppage, if Kimbo or who ever isnt defending them selves properly, then hey that fight needs to end, n Herb gave Kimbo the benifit of the doubt in the first round come one dude. Herb is by far the best Refferee in the UFC, ive seen every UFC,u wonna see a bad MMA refferee watch UFC 1 lol the Ref. is an absolute joke

[boodaddyhtp]

I agree Herb is the best ref, he is a fighter himself and there was no way kimbo was getting out of that. I hope he improves cause I like kimbo but I think he should have tried his hand at boxing.

[jacko12345]

I cant believe desperate Dan's name has not been mentioned!

[ikeones]

3 punches lmfao every fight wood be called off how often do you see a UFC fight look like a hockey fight??? never! you wood not pay 75$ to watch a 1min. fight Herb is the best referee for one reason he is a MMA fighter trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and his record is not the best. so he has been on the other end of them hits he knows how they feel

[KmanMonkeyPig]

It was okay i think.

Kimbo was not hurt, but he was pinned down and he was not going anywhere either... Not Herbs fault that Kimbo manages to get stuck in the same position twice.

Generally i think the referees do a good job. The judges and the spectators sometimes suck ass tho..

[WesterFaust]

I don't believe I've ever had to second guess any choice that Herb has made as an MMA referee.

[celticguy6405]

i thought it was a reasonable decision, roy would have just laid on him all day and eventually start eating kimbo haha

[Ironman840]

I don't care for herb dean whatsoever. I think he's the worse ref in the sport.

[Chasen14]

@Ironman840 You clearly dont know anything then, have you ever seen Steve Mazzagati?

[InKa4484]

really? I think he's the best. Yvess Lavigne is by far the worst.

[AVKILLA100]

@Ironman840 WAT??

[lilsm555]

Herb dean is my favorite reff

[BlackScorpionSkull]

@lilsm555 Big Jhon Mcarthy is mine!

[TomAndBenVids]

Oh ya and is Kimbo in the UFC hed better be Dana would be stupid to let him go!!! kimbo could make ufc a lot of money

[TomAndBenVids]

Herb and Big Jon are both good refs and ya but maybe herb could of stood them up just sayin' instead of stopping it

[Evocati2008]

dean's the best in the business

[krapkakes2]

ya straight up the frenchman yves lavigne  is one of the best underrated refs to ever ref the game. he always does a good job

[1onlytaz]

I agree with deehaul herb dean is def probably the best ref in the game, big Jon was up there as well but where is he now? I heard he pissed off the commission or something is this true?

[deehaul]

herb dean is the best ref in the business so nobody should question him.

[Lyingaboutmyage]

@deehaul

Especially because Kimbo didn't even attempt to get out.

[freep2050]

lmao he basically said fuck the kids

[AgentSpiral]

This guy would HATE soukoudjo because all soudkujo's bitch ass does is attack people after their he wins for like 5 secs.

[blo225]

what a low life to make an e-mail address and then make a fake youtube account under a fighters name everyone knows your not roy nelson no life

[RoyBigCountryNelson]

That fight should have been stopped. Herb Dean doesn't know what he's talking about. I have more experience than him and the rule is definitely 3 unanswered blows stops any fight.

THE CHAMP IS HERE!!!

[AgentSpiral]

Yes because you are the REAL "BigCountry" what's your record?Oh and don't look it up on google.

[VanDam08]

Really, then why aren't you doing something in UFC. Yeah, that answer would be, because you're not good enough.

[ChrisL1100]

Herb dean is the man.

Herb dean is THE FUCKING MAN.

[Ninearm]

Best refs ever :D

Big John Mccarthy

Yves Lavigne

Herb Dean

[esteban0321]

That was and excellent answer by Dean. No wonder people consider him the best referee.

[STCFCFYC1]

they should have got stood up due to lack of work

[erickeown1]

he knew he should have stopped it in the 1st though

[guitarnoob16]

that guitar behind dean is a little out of place

[UFCMEXICANFIGHTER155]

The best referees were from PRIDE hands down

[signboyy]

it was a good stoppage. if anything it probably should have been stopped at the end of the first round.

herb dean is the best ref in the ufc.

and the worst ref is eve lavigne.

[WhiteMenJumping5]

I thought that too, but after I watched it again, Nelson is just pussy footing and tapping him in the head, Kimbo is clearly no hurt at the end of the first, the second time when Nelson seen that it wasn't going to be stopped he really started hitting him, than it was stopped, Herb Dean is the best by far, I wish they would bring back big John tho.

Eve Lavinge isn't as bad as Steve Mazzagatti, Steve either let's it go for way way too long, or stops it right away after one big shot

[signboyy]

i would say those punches were at 20% but the point is if you cant defend yourself and everyone is yelling 17! 18! 19! its time to stop the fight due to your incompetence.

john mccarthy always struck me as an arrogant bully.

eve lavigne is by far the worst. especially when he stops fights, then changes his mind and says to start again. lol

mazzagatti is a great ref, he just gets grief for not stopping the fight immediately when lesnar tapped to mir.

[WhiteMenJumping5]

The second stoppage I agree with, I was saying I didn't think it needed to be stopped the first time though, if Herb didn't stop it the second time Kimbo would have laid on his back for 4 minutes

Big John never really struck me as anything but a great ref, I still think he's the best, StrikeForce included

I think Mazzagatti is a bad ref is mainly because he so inconsistent, if one guy gets caught he might stop it immediately but the same shot he would let it keep going even if he's out

[qwerty7778]

Worst ref is Mazaghatti.

[signboyy]

especially after stopping the rothwell/velasquez fight even though rothwell was standing and coherent.

[erickeown1]

i say yamasaki is best in ufc, but 3 punch rule would be retarded

[signboyy]

yeah i havent seen yamasaki stop any fights prematurely

[krazyxtwisted]

herb dean is cool dude. smart guy

[SpirtualSuzie]

lol the kids on the internet,i guess he is talking about us.i personally thought the fight should have been stopped kimbo was unable to defend himself and could not get out of it.look im gutted kimbo lost im watching the show coz of him.

[rjmarron]

where the hell did that three blows rule idea come from? haha bogus
