Yeh, I heard Herb say it. It made me respect him more as a ref. Unfortunately, taking away a point will only get guys motors running under very specific circumstances. All he could've done was take a point from AA(maybe unfairly) and piss him off and make him attack. It was really tedious to watch one of my more liked fighter just walk in circles for 2 rounds. I appreciated his apology but thats the biggest threat to growing this sport. Some casual fans find it boring because they don't understand the ground game and throw in a real boring fight and we have guys talking about how boring most ufc fights are.
