The Big Dan/Lil Kim Award for Refereeing Incompetence

Dan Mirg, Weidman v Gegard

Big Dan stops the fight due to what he thinks is an illegal knee. He is not allowed or able or something to review the knee on instant replay, but is told by other refs that it was actually legal. Dan tries to give Weidman the rest of his 5 minutes to recover for some reason, and then a doctor stops the fight or something. Weidman loses by TKO.

I'm sure it won't win, but I think UFC 211 deserves a nomination for Card of the Year.

You know how to do your job, but I want to float the idea of reducing the number of awards. I was able to get it down to 11. A shorter core ballot could increase participation:

KO
Sub
Fight
Performance
Round
Fighter
Breakout
Comedy
Bad officials (refs + judges)
Event
Goon Favourites

just look at lobstermobster's ballot and do all of those i would think
