UFC President Dana White is not the type of guy to mince words with anyone, especially referees he deems to be incompetent.
Tonight, after the co-main event between Valentina Shevchenko and Priscila Cachoeira, White called out referee Mario Yamasaki, referring to his performance in the fight as “disgusting,” “scary,” and “incompetent.”
To wit:
Priscilla Cachoeira, you showed so much heart and toughness in that fight. I’m honored to have you fight in the UFC. Unfortunately the ref is there to protect you and Mario DID NOT do that. This isn’t his first disgusting performance in the octagon. Another unfortunate thing is that i can’t do anything about I️t only the Brazilian commission can and i am hoping after this scary, incompetent showing he hopefully will never set foot in that Octagon again. Strikes landed was 230-3.
Shevchenko dominated Cachoeira in their match. In both rounds of their fight, Valentina took Priscila down and pummeled her for minutes. It wasn’t until Cachoeira tapped to a rear naked choke that the match ended.

Do agree with Dana White? Should that match have been stopped much earlier?
