Referee Leon Roberts exhibits smooth grappling, taking back control and threatening the choke to restrain Amateur UK fighter Nathias Frederick after he dropped Ahmad Aswad.
Middle easy quote about Leon Roberts:
“Leon Roberts is the nicest guy I’ve ever met. I travel with him when we’re on UFC duty and he’s arguably the most gentle giant you will ever speak to. However, he knows how to get it done. He never has to say it, it’s just a given.”
This UK fighter gets a clean KO but he’s so in the zone that he just sees red and keeps hammering away at the poor opponent until the ref jumps in and takes matters into his own hands – literally. We’re always saying that refs and judges should have some fight training and experience of their own, and here’s a perfect example. Can you imagine if it was Kim Winslow in there trying to break things up? Can we get this ref booked for the next Palhares fight?
