    “Horrible Job By The Ref” – Referee Marc Goddard Blasted For Missing Fence Grabs As Kaan Ofli Goes On To Submit Ricardo Ramos At UFC Rio

    Kaan Ofli may have scored the victory at UFC Rio, defeating Ricardo Ramos, but it didn’t come without much controversy following several missed fence grab calls.

    Just seconds into the fight, Ricardo Ramos had Kaan Ofli against the fence, threatening a kneebar. Ofli’s defenses, however, saw him grab the fence multiple times. None of the fence grabs, however, were penalized, or even seemingly noticed, by veteran referee Marc Goddard.

    Ofli would then work his way out of Ramos’ submission attempts before getting to the back in a backpack position. That’s where Ofli managed to lock up a choke to score the tapout, to the boos of the Brazilian crowd that rained down.

    Ofli now scores the first win in his UFC career after losses to Mairon Santos and Muhammad Naimov, the former coming in the finale of The Ultimate Fighter season 32.

    Ramos has now lost four of his last five and is 3-6 in his last nine fights.

    ‘What Happens When You Play Around & Think You’ve Got The Win’ – MMA Fans React After Josh Culibao Loses Close Split Decision To Ricardo Ramos

    Josh Culibao and Ricardo Ramos fought a competitive battle during the UFC 305 prelims, with two judges ultimately feeling Ramos deserved the nod in a close, controversial split decision.

    Though Culibao damaged Ramos’ leg badly, leaving him limping, the Brazilian had complete control once the fight went to the ground, threatening a choke and nearly finishing the fight there in round one.

    Culibao got back to work in the second round, landing more with his striking and having some fun in the process – courtesy of a ballerina-style spin.

    In a close round three, two judges felt that Ramos, through the use of a takedown and doing what he could with his control, deserved the win.

    However, it was clear that Culibao landed the greater damage through the fight.
