Sometime there’s nothing more harmful to a fighter than a crappy ref.

There are some great referees in MMA, most of them you can find at the top of any UFC or Bellator card. But then there are refs out there that can really do more harm than good. When a fighter is in danger and can’t defend themselves, it’s up to the referee to step in and make sure to save a combatant who is clearly out of it.

Sadly, that doesn’t always happen. There have been some bad stoppages over the history of MMA and the video shows just a few examples of that. MMA is no joke and when referees aren’t doing their job, people can get seriously hurt.

What do you think of late stoppages in MMA?
