UFC 259 Mark Smith taking like 5 minutes to figure out that Aljamain Sterling lying on his back not knowing who he was and unable to get up after eating a deliberate foul knee to the face from Petr Yan meant he should call the match to an end. UFC 259. Al Guiney just watching Jamahal Hill's arm flop around brokenly while Hill is stuck in a triangle/armbar, doing nothing as Craig elbows Hill in the face.

Shields only ground defense being punching (even while mounted), Elkin not submitting Shields at any point, or even looking to win by TKO. Just a real dumb fight overall. Conor sitting with a broken ankle, fighting back angry tears while screaming incoherent insults at an indifferent Poirier who is leaving victorious with his wife - UFC 264 Best Social Media Presence LobsterMobster fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Dec 12, 2021 |

Worst Ref Mistake - Mark Smith letting Medic pummel Cruz for like 3 extra minutes while Cruz simply crawled around on all fours.

From PFL #4 - Judging incompetence for scoring Loughnane vs Diamond 28-28 despite Loughnane nearly killing Diamond in rounds 2 and 3 - Comeback for Shields vs Elkin - Coaching and gameplan failure for Elkin for being incapable of finishing Shields on the ground - Comedy in MMA for Shields vs Elkin.
