Lets be honest here, Herb stopped the fight at the end of round 1. Then he was unsure and change his mind, like he always does.
Herb Dean has been a referee for over 3500 fights.. I think saying that he ALWAYS does that is kind of an overreaction, hm?
I guarantee you he has several severe learning disabilities.
herbal is high af usually
@@OPShergottite wouldn't you, if you were called Herb Dean? Absolute legend.
You try and ref and see how easy it is buddy
Masvidal ko'd Cerrone and Till in their hometowns. Masvidal behind enemy lines confirmed mythical fighter.
😏glad someone wrote it.
If you listen, Herb actually stopped it before the buzzer, so Masvidal actually knocked out Cerrone twice.
The old Izzy-rob treatment
@@HappyBlueDot he’s the best ref
@@jojoDbandit not currently maybe before but herb has made hella mistakes lately I’d say the best is Herzog
@@danterodriguez2610 definitely herzog goes un noticed deserves more credit
How many times does he need to kill the guy
Two knockouts in one fight, thanks Herb
This was against cowboy who was on a tear and undefeated at welterweight. He was 11-1 in his last 12. Jorge broke his streak. Then cerrone declined. Leon edwards decisioned a cerrone who had already lost to masvidal lawler and darren till.
Leon Scott is overrated and his streak is mostly filled with nobodies I've been saying this for a long time
@@templetonpeck7949 Same as Colby tho. Colby beat Robbie Lawler,Demian Maia and Woodley. Not exactly cream of the crop
@@maltheri9833 and past their prime
@@maltheri9833 you could say that for every top welterweight
@@maltheri9833 except usman
Being a cowboy fan is hardwork
Yep considering he’s a racist. He said the n word in the lockeroom
@Darren Reddix yea he said something about if an n word shoots on him but he said it with an r
He's the next BJ Penn
@@noihaventseensquidgame507 I would say Cody holds that mantle.
@Darren Reddix would not be shocking if cowboy was a racist lol
Lol, Herb Dean stopped the fight before the bell and then got confused because he heard the sound of the round end and let Cerrone go to the corner. That was a 1st round TKO.
Yup
exactly, he must not have been sure whether he had jumped in before or after the bell
Masidal body shots were ferocious.
Cowboy kept saying that he didn’t know who Masvidal was building up to the fight. Jorge tko’s him and then tells him “you know who I am.” Masvidal is as real as it gets.
Yeah but we all know cowboy is lying, he ain't even trying to disrespect his opponents, he's just trying to look cool, guys that're acting like they don't care about nothing are the biggest attention whores like cowboy and derrick lewis
@@amoory538 Aren't you pretty much on his side? Like, you're both on the same boat, so no need for that "yeah, but" I kinda agree though, but to an extent they kinda need to act cool to not bore the fans
@@remyhavoc4463 there are a plenty of other ways to entertain the fans other than being a*holes, but I personally think these two in particular are very selfish spoiled crybaby brats, couldn't care less about fans entertainment especially lewis
That body work at the end was as nice as I've ever seen
I remember watching this fight. In India it was around 4-5 am. Cowboy was on a tear but Masvidal just killed that streak!
Awesome! Im from canada i miss gsp headliners
@@bjcoon3789 bro you can actually meet GSP if you want to fuck headliners
Messed up taking that fight a month after having a 2 1/2 rounds of back and forth with Matt brown. He was 1 fight away from the title
@@thechronic2699 True. I guess he got dropped as well before he KOed Brown!
Is ufc big in India? Any future prospect coming out of there we should keep an eye out for?
This was the day Jorge entered my life. What a day.
Me too my first ever Jorge fight dude is super entertaining to watch
Pause
@@realkingrav2265 He could finish me faster than 5 seconds that's for sure
@@robamiri9665 😳
@@robamiri9665 Sus
Damn, Jorge finished Cowboy with the same sequence twice! Caught and cleared the lead kick, Got a good angle, Feinted the left and followed it with a big right over hand. 1:08 and 2:16
Finally someone mention it
Excellent observation 🔥
Man masvidal had one of the best skin fades in the game lol
Poor cowboy. He’s either on or off. Never consistent. Still one of my favorite fighters reguardless win or lose.
nah he was pretty damn consistent at the time against Jorge he was 9-1 in his last 10 on a war path beating every contender except prime RDA. Really impressive win by Jorge to beat prime Cerrone
@@bobchimpson7703 people always too quick to forget...bdw diaz beat prime cerrone too
@@bobchimpson7703 until morono, cerrone never lost against someone who wasn't either a champ or title contender at some point, and he beat his fair share of former and future champs and contenders along the way. And a good chunk of those fights were on short notice or he was taking 4-5 fights a year.
@@bobchimpson7703 This was the end of prime Cerrone, after this he became old man Cerrone.
Y’all weren’t around for short hair Jorge. He was a better finisher later in his career but short haired Masvidal was a pressure fighting durable demon. Always moving forward and tuff asf.
jorge has a tendency of fighting opponents in their hometown/state and actually winning
Which means if he fought Usman in Nebraska he might've actually won
That’s a journeyman for you. Not saying he is or was. However the ufc set him up to lose this one and the Till fight. Kind of like a homecoming game for football. Home team is supposed to win cause the other team is supposed to be an easy opponent. He showed up the ufc and then wreaked Askren to become a superstar
@@templetonpeck7949 damn your comments even better than mine
Totally forgot that Jorge had the “Edgar” haircut 😂
Had the Edgar before it was called the Edgar
This Performance From Jorge Was Incredible
To become a star u have to beat a star in spectacular fashion, and in this fight Jorge did that twice.
Gamebread back in action with a beautiful mesmerizing KO. He's still the top welterweight. Hope he becomes better and performs the best in the next fight.
Fun Fact: Before the Fight Cowboy said he doesnt know who masvidal is and at 2:29 Masvidal goes to Cowboy and said: "You know Who i am ??"
Cold af
Colby's going to ragdoll Jorge...
We’ll Jorge is a natural lightweight and Colby is a natural welterweight so I would hope so
@BRUNO ESTEVÃO I said natural lightweight he fought most of his career at 155 noob
@@MrSturdystratus Both Jorge and Colby are on the smaller side for the division and could cut to lightweight. Poirier looks bigger than both of them.
My Hero Masvidal
Nope
@@timh5395 Not your maybe but mine's
@@thedeb378 So don't say our then
@@sukhdevr3489 Now happy?👍
@@thedeb378 Yes😂😂
1:18 Cerrone standing there as if he’s riding a slow mechanical bull.
Real fighter
Not gonna be an easy fight for Colby
I mean it COULD be an easy night for Colby
@@robamiri9665 lol I was gonna say or is it
yes it is
Greetings nerds and virgins 👋
@@robamiri9665 how ? Even usman couldn't hold jorge down. Colby is in trouble
Jorge lost twice to the champ, No shame in that. Some of y’all must’ve forgot how good his striking is, Colby is in for a rude awakening if he doesn’t turn into a hugger.
the difference is Masvidal got flatlined by the champ and Colby took his best shots
@@dead_meat8362 Colby got finished too the first time even got his chin literally cracked
@@dead_meat8362 Colby never got hit with that Falcon punch that Masvidal got sparked by. Nobody in ww takes that punch and stays conscious trust me
@@DavidMartinez-qy2nl got his jaw broken and still fought for 2 rounds COMPETETIVE, why are people actin like its something to be ashamed of?
@@templetonpeck7949 Most people don’t realize how perfect that shot was. It was a full power shot by a shredded champ that landed clean on the chin on someone who was taunting. Repeat that scenario and replace Jorge with most WW’s and you get the same knockout.
Jon Anik has literally mastered his craft. Amazing to see how great hes gotten through the years
Jorge in the same physical shape he was in for Till, Askrew and Diaz.
2:29 "Do you know who I am?..."
Whoa man what a charisma
Cowboy couldn't give a shit tho
He said u know who I am
thats so cold
Some context on this, Leading up to the fight Cowboy said he didnt even know who jorge was although they once trained together and only heard about him cause that weird ellenberger tko.. jorge finishes cowboy walks up and says “ now you know who i am “ such a dope moment i love how cowboy just gives him props.
En Argentina estamos siempre con Jorge Masvidal amigos Saludos desde Buenos Aires mi ciudad
Ha, I still remember people discounting Masvidal. At the time, he was my favorite fighter... how times have changed.
I could see him shocking the world and koing colby in stunning fashion. Not likely, colby UD’ing him is probably what will happen but i could see masvidal shocking everybody
@@georizzo9891 I just see Colby smothering him.
Jeez man prime jorge had some real knockout power
Great performance by Masvidal but Cerrone took this fight a month after a 3 round war with Matt Brown. He should've never been in there. Ironic that the reason why he's a fan favorite is the same reason he's never truly been great -- too active.
He had the potential to be the champ and he might've been champion if he was mentally stronger
Definitely but either way I think masvidal is just a bad matchup for him and would’ve won no matter what
Gamebred has some spectacular striking techniques.
Love seeing cowboy getting knocked out yeehaw 🤠
I dont know why cerrone always acts like a new born giraffe when he gets hit. I thought he was a veteran.
Cowboy is a qualifying criteria to be called a worthy fighter UFC immediately start expecting as a possible world champion belt holder. Below him are from the range of fighters being naive to made an impact but not for the belt sort of guys. An uncrowned great fighter.
Bro, Herb really needs to get his shit together and have more definitive calls. Way too many double takes and half calls with Herb.
He's absolute trash as a ref yet gets praised. Probably just bc he's been around for so long and aint goin nowhere...unfortunately.
🔥🔥Gamebred🔥🔥
Jorge is a beast 💯💯💯, hopefully he can punish Colby worst than what he did to Cowboy. Let's go Gamebred!!!! Team Masvidal all the way 🙌🏾💯✊🏾
Team Masvidal 👍
@@thedeb378 Too many people are underestimating him 🤦🏾♂️. They gonna see.
@@ramoncrocodiliansproductio3865 Yeah obviously those Colby fans are gonna be thrashed.
Don't not underestimate gamebred Jorge mavidal 🔥
there was a lot of trash-talk from young jorge prior. this lead up to this fight really pissed cowboy off. hes admitted that he fought this fight with emotion.
like all of his fights. cerrone was and always will be a slow starter. he ate bombs here early
There wasn’t ahaha your thinking of Diaz. Masvidal never did Interviews back then and never talked. The only thing was ever said was cerrone saying he didn’t know who masvidal was
I hated cowboy took this fight because For one it was LITERALLY right after he knocked out Matt Brown & for two it was 170 I hate him at 170 & I haven’t seen cowboy himself since
It's the unfortunate reality for a lot of older 155ers when the UFC is too ignorant to make a 165 division. These lightweights get too big, lazy or both to keep cutting to 155, and are clearly our of their element against the top 9 or 10 at 170.
@@Dukeflyhawker PERFECTLY said
his fight against Iaquinta was vintage Cowboy, and it was the last time he really performed. Iaquinta was ranked #4 in the deadliest division and Cowboy just beat the brakes off of him from bell to bell.
KO's cowboy twice in one night. 👏
Verdadero Peleador Jorge 👊🏽 🇨🇺
I’m genuinely afraid for Cowboy mans taken too much punishment in his career
Not more than Nate Diaz
He's good compared to other guys
@@omak723 He's taken wayyy more damage than Diaz. He's been KO'd 8 times by some big punchers.
Awesome
Colby gonna do this boy dirty
How tho ? Colby hits like a bantamweight.
@@gamebred6995 that just means it’s gonna be 50-45 Colby in a one sided ass whipping
jorge has a tendancy to ko his opponents in their backyards
Gamebred 💙
Jorge is a good hometown spoiler. He did this to Till also in the UK.
Ref knows his shit
Cowboy landed a nice headkick in this fight. Shame they didn't show it. Even when he loses that headkick is so sneaky
Jorge said Usman couldn't do anything getting knocked them clean out I will always remember that
i notice that masvidal landed his biggest shots off of catching a kick, off balancing, then big overhand. he lands to start both knockdowns, and he does the same pattern repeatedly when he starches darren till.
Herbs “Live-Replay” Dean
Cowboy is still our boy
*Your boy
The eye poke helped him win. But Croni‘s game plan I’m sure it was to slow him down so was a bigger man and didn’t stop to rest
Back when masvidal facial hair looks like Gambit from X men.
Cerone got out classed.
Colby and Jorge have such similar striking lol
poor cowboy just turns up to get beat, bless
Herb dean been doin that bullshit for the longest 😂
Now that I’m looking, all of Cowboy’s losses look the same. If he’s not absolutely dominating, hit him twice and he starts backing up 😢
Cerrone had been in UFC for decades and never became an elite. He just couldn't beat the top guys. His best ever peak was basically "a little above average".
"A little above average". Ur comment is beyond pretentious. Being in the top 5-10 in an organization of the best fighters in the world in the most competitive division is elite. Most will never be champ. Just bc you don't get the belt doesn't make u some journeyman bum.
man i miss brian stann so much as a commentator
Why did he stop?
@@sukhdevr3489 he really wasn't that good
Cerrone's 6th fight of that year,I remember thinking why the hell is he fighting so much in one year
Cowboy got knocked out twice in a fight, poor guy
if you search for the opposite of 'head movement' on a striking enciclopedia, you'll find a picture of Donald.
Колби его убьёт, чекайте))
For more details
What's up with distracting background music?
Colby will destroy you
Hope the Covington fight goes similar, though I know it won't
Herb "confused" Dean
Watch this with closed captions. See what it thinks masvidals name is. Or should i say names as cc thinks 😂
Street Judas about to get baptised by Colby “Chaos” Covington.
Back when Jorge was respected
Cerrone's losing streak is so long it goes back to when Jorge had short hair LOL
Their records are basically identical, after colby beats him cerrone will have a better record 🤷🏼♂️
Cowboy 36-16 Jorge 35-15
Cerrone is the ufc's version if glass joe
Herb dean needs to stop it earlier inconsistent
Never liked cerrone so seeing Jorge knock him tf out was sweet. Nice one Gamebred 👊👊
Why? Cerrone is actually a cool guy Masvidals a scumbag criminal
Herb Dean really let Cowboy get killed lmao 😬
This was one month after Cerrone had a war with Matt Brown tho
Still would’ve beat him Imo. He’s just a bad matchup for cerrone
Seems like most of the time when they fight in their hometown they end up losing.
Why pay for a fight when you can watch a 3 minute clip of if 5 years later
Double KO
hola
Back when Cerrone had a chin, so it counts more.
Masvidal and Covington will be competitive no matter what people are saying about him getting worked. Just not sure Jorge will stuff the pressure enough, Colby Decision I believe
The bad guy wins 😈🔥
damn he might've fought that second round on auto pilot
AZERBAİJAN HELLO🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿❤️

Herb Dean is the worst reffere in the ufc history
This fight signaled the rise of Masvidal as a household name in the UFC but it also was the decline of Cowboy.
damn he look like he got the same hairstyle on top and on bottom of his head 🍘
