Recently, ‘Gamebred’ took to Facebook once more and shared a video that showcased referees stopping fighters from hitting their opponents after the fight was stopped. Masvidal also went sarcastic in his caption about this post.
Jorge Masvidal termed the dutiful referees as a problem
Masvidal’s post showcased a number of occasions where the referees got into trouble with one of the fighters after the stoppage of the fight. In some instances, the referee also managed to successfully separate the raging fighter from hitting their opponents all by his own.
Whereas, on the other occasions, the beaten fighter got completely dazed and was unaware of the stoppage of the fight. They mistook the referee as their opponent and started grappling them.
‘Gambred’ was understandably startled by this video. The caption to his shared post read, “These refs are a problem”. Being a fighter, he clearly wanted the fights to continue and was thereby disturbed by the intervention of the referees.

One instance also exhibits another extraordinary rear naked choke from the referee. The fighter refused to stop hitting his opponent even after the referee tapped his back and asked him to stop. Looking at the emergency situation, the referee had to stop the fighter with a rear naked choke.
Despite Masvidal’s negative views, it may be agreed that it is also important for the referees to have some training in martial arts as well, apart from their knowledge. It can definitely come in handy whenever adverse situations arise.
