Ref outrages fans at Titan 26

That ref is a complete tool! DISGRACEFUL! #titan26

Alex White fought Roy Babcock on the main card of Titan 26 Friday night. At the close of the second round, with just seconds left, White knocked out Babcock with a straight left.

Showing the great sportsmanship that defines MMA, White stopped. Referee Rusty Sullivan then indicated that the fight was not stopped. In a further show of character, White actually argued with the ref that his unconscious opponent was in fact unconscious.

The ref insisted the fight continue, and White threw a halfhearted shot before time ran out and the bout was finally concluded.

The decision now joins a number of others in the MMA reffing Hall of Shame, including…

Kim Couture vs. Sheila Bird

MMA’s debut in Turkey featuring Murat “Lord Pitbull” Kazganat

And a May 31, 1996 Brazilian Vale Tudo Fighting 2 bout between Eric Venutti and Rogerio da Silva that is staggeringly bad.
