At UFC 235, Herb Dean was the referee of a Welterweight bout between Robbie Lawler and Ben Askren. But the anticipated matchup had an early ending due to a controversial stoppage from Dean. Lawler was stuck in a submission attempt from Askren when it appeared he couldn't properly defend himself. But when the fight was stopped Lawler immediately protested the result believing he was fine and wasn't in jeopardy of being submitted. Dean would speak to Joe Rogan a month later and explain his reasoning for stopping the fight. #herbdean #joerogan #shorts #ufc #robbielawler #benaskren
