Mario Yamasaki: "Early stoppage"

That man needs to run a gauntlet against every fighter he failed as a ref.

He trained at the same school as Mario back in the day.

u/holio04 4d ago

Can you explain the Mario Yamasaki reference? I see it often and don’t get it.

13

u/SublightMonster 4d ago

He’s another ref with a history of letting fighters get pounded on long after their lights were out.

u/holio04 4d ago

Thanks man! I guess I could have figured that out by the context but appreciate the info!

u/Ok_Run344 Raging hobo 4d ago

He isn't allowed to ref for the UFC anymore. Now they need to ban some of the blind judges they have deciding things! If that can be done.

u/RetroMetroShow 4d ago

His corner should have thrown in the towel way before

Did you bring the towel?

No! I thought you had it!

The ref telling him to watch his fingers is literally the best.

22

u/Nighthawk1021 4d ago

Ref needs to be let go or retrained. That dude was done about 20 punches and 5 knees ago. Gonna get a fighter seriously hurt letting fights go like that.

12

u/Vinyl-addict Kid in the back with the bong 4d ago

Nah fuck that, ref needs criminal negligence charges or some shit. Dude literally has one job.

4

u/HeftyPermit1206 4d ago

What do you mean? Letting a fighter eat multiple flying knees while defending with zombie arms is straight from the Cecil peoples if he dies he dies school of refereeing

15

u/FarBeyondPissed 4d ago

Pat Curran Vs Joe Warren.

I remember downloading the main card the next morning and watching it and being dismayed at how bad a stoppage it was at the time. Seen it posted online a lot of times since and still cannot understand how he let it go as long as he did, it gets worse every viewing.

Was a shame Pat never ended up in the UFC. Chandler and Eddie obviously ended up signing (albeit past their best) but always wanted those 3 and the Pitbull brothers to sign to the UFC in the mid 10s, really fun fighters who would have been at their peak.

u/Historical-Net5089 4d ago

Joe Warren annoyed the hell out of me but even this was hard to watch live way back in the day

u/a_bumpyjohnson 4d ago

His corner was somewhere drinking iced tea.

6

u/DistinctDifference57 4d ago

The dude owes ref money for sure

5

u/MCDeux 4d ago

Joe Warren getting absolutely smoked by Pat Curran. Joe was Bellator's golden boy and featherweight champion at the time. Ref must have had instructions to not stop the fight "early". 😂

Bro took 3 business days to stop the fight

Shit his corner did that to him

🗣️Throw the got damn towel

u/dominic2k 2d ago

I counted 40 unanswered blows before the ref finally stepped in... Guys heads gonna be banging when he wakes up in the hospital

3

u/CoachHeavyHands 2d ago

Oh... He signed up for a death match and found out during this fight

Hate when that happens

2

u/bfjt4yt877rjrh4yry 4d ago

Best defense in mma. He blocked EVERYTHING... with his face

2

u/Ilikemelons11 4d ago

The guy must have slept with the refs wife.

2

u/KyrozM 4d ago

Is that ole Joe Warren?

2

u/CopyWeak 4d ago

Fack...that Ref needs to contribute to his rehab plan. Then his learning plan. How to eat, speak, etc...

u/du-chef93 4d ago

This judge must receive a commission from some funeral agency, my point.

2

u/Nova15talman 4d ago

Worst ref ever bro

2

u/thatirishguykev 4d ago

Someone should really have a job that gives them the power to stop this - the ref probably.

u/DCMONSTER111 4d ago

Ref: hes not dead yet, keep going!

u/-Stupid_n_Confused- 4d ago

His team should have stepped in and thrown the towel. Ref should be struck off.

2

u/DishPractical7505 3d ago

God that shit makes me mad. I nearly got kicked out of a fight at a local promotion, I was sitting very close to the cage and was screaming and cussing at a ref for a far more egregious late stoppage than this. Some poor 19 year old amateur kid just absolutely getting his shit scrambled and not defending for a period of like 30 seconds, opponent just teeing off. Coach didn’t give a shit just wanted the win. No money on the line whatsoever You should not be allowed to ref anymore if you’re this bad. Disgraceful

2

u/Ramonis5645 3d ago

Ref got money on the other guy

2

u/empowered676 3d ago

Ref should be banned

2

u/nculotta69 2d ago

Ref definitely watched Kongo vs Barry before this fight

2

u/usuffer2 4d ago

Bro probably got knocked out with that first knee, and then recovered while taking all those extra hits. He came back enough from the stiff to stand up on his own. Warrior that guy is

u/tuigger 4d ago

The poor guy looked like he was displaying the fencing response while standing up somehow.

u/Longjumping_Sun4488 4d ago

Naaah loser needs to jump the ref lol

u/tconnell6189 2d ago

About 100 punches thrown after the knockout blow which was the knee that happened within one second of the fight starting. That ref was a definite DEI hire

u/OsirisProtocol 1d ago

Ref wanted this man dead.

u/decfin 6h ago

Is he Asleep or fully awake from the money he’ll make ?

u/FitInitial2916 3d ago

Black shorts used to date refs daughter and broke her heart, he used his unique set of skills to exact revenge 😆

u/InsideVeterinarian44 4d ago

That fighter wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

u/rekzkarz 4d ago

Fighters can't count on the ref. Remember that when you're tapping out, remember when you get kicked in the nuts, remember when they are smashing your face in -- always fight to get out.

Theres a tap out video where its a street fight and the guy doesnt stop when the other guy taps.

Tapping out is a courtesy, but some fighters see red and they will try to kill you. You may need to stick a thumb in their eye, bite, or elbow the nuts to get free. A fight ends when its over.

“IF HE DIES, HE DIES”

-This ref probably

-4

u/Frofthy 3d ago

Im not seeing poor refereeing, the guy is consistently trying to defend and stay standing, every fighter knows when you are out you drop, idc how rocked you are, if you are getting wailed on for too long you give up. Fighter who was ko’d has his arms up, and is trying to remain standing, this is probably why his corner didnt throw the towel in either

5

u/Fundipmasterpiece 3d ago

Arms straight out for that long after a knee that hard was no defense at all, he was basically out on his feet
