MMA – The referee who officiated for the UFC debut of Benoit Saint-Denis has been suspended by the organization after his poor performance.
Frenchman Benoit Saint-Denis made his UFC debut on Saturday. The former special forces lost to Zaleski dos Santos by unanimous decision. However, the fight should never have gone to completion. The French suffered very heavy damage in the second round, wiping out a series of significant strikes without presenting the slightest defense. Benoit Saint-Denis was KO standing, everyone expected an intervention from the referee which ultimately never happened.
Then he was to referee the match between Volkan Oezdemir and Magomed Ankalaev, Vyacheslav Kiselev saw his mission cut short by the UFC. “I can tell you that Vyacheslav Kiselev has been removed from his next assignment,” commentator Jon Anik informed. “He will no longer referee tonight after what we all witnessed during the Saint-Denis / Zaleski dos Santos match”. Kiselev was replaced by Marc Goddard.

Many observers were indignant at this refereeing performance. “Honestly the worst performance I’ve seen from a referee in my life. Honestly, it’s hard work, but this is where it’s unreal,” Daniel Cormier tweeted. “It makes you respect the good guys like Jason Herzog, John McCarthy and Herb Dean and many others. I hated watching this, hope Benoit is heading to the hospital right now. »
