Marc Goddard should not be refereeing title fights anymore 👎🏻

No he did a good job. This sport is plagued by boring wrestling.

maybe spend your training camp defending takedowns especially when your a world champion too

Nah that's for real 🤣

Best ref in the biz

worst ref in the biz bring steve mazzagatti back

Marc is one of if not the best ref going rn

such a bad ref

even with the stand ups, how many times did DDP put his fingers and toes in the fence to escape the position and he didn’t even give him a warning 🤦🏻‍♂️

facts

The stand ups were fine tbh

@SparkOutMMA no they weren’t, the crowed influenced his decision to stand them up, even on the second standup Khanzat looked annoyed as he was throwing shots

Nah, nothing to do with the crowd. Goddard saw that the fight wasn’t being advanced and stood them up. No harm and could be done more in mma tbh

@SparkOutMMA @PrestigePrince9 what are you talking about? DDP was playing the anti grappling game where you stall positions to avoid getting subbed or facing damage. unfortunately you have no idea what that is because you never stepped foot on the mats

@PrestigePrince9 DDP was playing the getting dominated game, but Khamzat wasn’t doing anything to advance the fight when Goddard stood them up. He done it twice and didn’t affect the fight in any way, stop crying about it

@SparkOutMMA @PrestigePrince9 he didn’t advance the fight? he had him in a Crusifix? do you have even a lick of understanding in grappling dude? that position ends fights. and khamzat was actively hunting for the back or trying to get to mount. you have no clue what your on about unfortunately

@PrestigePrince9 Numnuts over here telling me I don’t understand grappling while trying to tell me these are fight ending positions 😂😂

Goddard was right. There were times when Khamzat was just lying on him without throwing any strikes or going for submissions

It's not Goddard it's a new thing they're trying to prevent people from stalling.

Marc Goddard did the right thing.

I agree the standups were stupid. Khamzat was active in control, he wasn't stalling. People need to decide if they want sport or entertainment.

Agreed, he should be fined and suspended

Couldn't agree more - Goddard - wtf!

Horrible referee, but I think they keep him around only for this weird and unfair stuff, that doesn’t even work khamzat was like okay here we go again in seconds just count them.

Goddard was trying to save his parlay 😆

Stand ups were correct

If neither fighter is advancing the fight for a meaningful amount of time, the ref should stand it up

Wow its almost like in those 22 minutes out of 25, he barely tried to advance towards a finish and is the reason why they got stood up!

Goddard did a great job

He was trying to save the main event and wake up the audience you piece of shit. They were killing MMA with this bullshit.

And im supposed to believe twitter warriors who have never stepped foot in the cage when they say Goddard ahould have seperated them earlier…

Khamzat doing zero damage through 550 punches, just riding control time to victory. There should have been at least 1 stand up each round. At least Khabib made it look like he was doing something.

The only good fighter Whittaker has ever beat knocked him down twice and had him running for his life btw

@robwhittakermma actually, brother The new rules completely changed the game. Have to be working for a finish in all positions. ref has discretion. He could stand up from Crucifix. I dont agree with new rules but they have changed our sport.

There should have been more stand-ups. Not less.

💯

Fuck whittaker

For all the retards in here; This is an absolute legit standup. In guard, chest to chest, both knees are planted, not advancing the fight. Get. Over. It

The rules say what Goddard did is valid

The stand ups were well within the rules. Marc Goddard is one of the best in his field.

best referee

Agreed. That was awful, but ofc there will be ZERO repercussions....like always. When will it stop? When the UFC decides to actually do something. Therefore, it will never stop

Did the exact same thing for Leon…. And Leon kicked usmans head off… @marcgoddard_uk is legit horrible reg

He’s a bias referee. He’s been doing it for years! Aljo fight against o malley other fights where the “others” have lost. Check the tape!

Marc Goddard knew exactly what he was doing. Probably had money on DDP

Marc should only do female fights
