Alex Pereira showed the damage to the back of his head on Instagram and called for referee Herb Dean to be removed and fired from the UFC:
“It was a lucky jab and he took advantage… that was the opportunity of a lifetime for him. This guy has a long history of it. Dirty shots, punches to the back of the head.
I brought that up with [the referee] ahead of time and asked him to keep an eye on it… if you watch the footage man, multiple shots, multiple elbows [to the back of the head].
[The referee] is not a man. He shouldn’t have been refereeing that fight. A guy like that should be punished.”
“This will only change when fighters come together to push out referees who continue making mistakes like this.
Let’s make sure this doesn’t happen to you.
We have the power to make it happen!”

Alex Pereira wasn’t happy with the way Jon Jones reacted to his loss 😬
“I’ve never spoken bad about Jon Jones. I don’t understand why he did that.
In a moment so difficult, he decides to provoke someone who’s never provoked him.
Look at the difference. When he was going through a difficult time, I sent him support.”
Alex Pereira went off on referee Herb Dean for allowing Ciryl Gane to land illegal shots to the back of his head 😳
“He is not a real man. He should be punished. It’s a very serious job. He should face legal consequences. He’s a coward. I have no respect for him whatsoever.”

“Bu durum ancak dövüşçüler bu tür hatalar yapan hakemi görevden almak için mücadele ettiklerinde değişecektir.
