Mixed martial arts referee Herb Dean is defending his officiating at UFC Freedom 250 after fighter Alex Pereira accused him of failing to stop illegal blows to the back of his head during a fight against Ciryl Gane. Pereira, who lost the fight via TKO, called for Dean to be punished and for the result to be reviewed. Dean, in response, clarified the rules regarding strikes to the back of the head, distinguishing between the back of the head and the more restricted 'nape of the neck,' though critics argue he should have at least issued a verbal warning.
