Herb Dean Career

At UFC 70, held on April 21, 2007, Dean was the referee during the bout between Mirko Cro Cop and Gabriel Gonzaga. Late in the first round, Dean stood the fight up from the guard position, a measure typically used against inactivity. Some fight analysts claim that Gonzaga was in fact administering ground and pound and had just maneuvered his opponent against the cage for additional advantage.

Shortly after the stand-up, Gonzaga knocked out Filipović with a kick to the head. Filipović collapsed awkwardly after receiving the blow, pinning his right foot, which was rotated 180 degrees backward, underneath his body. Dean quickly freed the pinned foot which helped prevent serious injury. Filipović has stated since that the elbows on the ground confused and damaged him enough that he was disoriented after the stand-up, contributing to the subsequent knockout.

UFC president Dana White stated after UFC 109 and UFC 160, that he thinks Dean “is one of the best referees in this business. Actually, I think he’s the best” in reference to his stoppage in the fight between Mike Swick and Paulo Thiago. He added that after Dean’s stoppage of the Mir vs. Sylvia fight he never questions Dean.

“When Herb Dean does shit, I don’t even question it anymore. I wait for the replay. This guy sees shit that I can’t see sitting there watching the monitor.” At UFC 169, Dean caused controversy over his stoppage of the main card fight Renan Barão vs. Urijah Faber for the UFC bantamweight title. UFC president Dana White criticized Dean saying, “He made a mistake.”

At UFC Fight Night: Hunt vs. Oleinik, Dean was heavily criticized for a late stoppage during his refereeing of a fight between Khalid Murtazaliev and C. B. Dollaway. Many fans took to Twitter afterward referencing the stoppage, calling his refereeing disgusting, comparing it to a recent late stoppage by fellow referee Mario Yamasaki. At UFC 235, Dean was criticized by UFC president Dana White after he awarded a win to Ben Askren via bulldog choke against Robbie Lawler.
