Alex Pereira is refusing to let a contentious Herb Dean decision go by without publicizing it to his thousands and thousands of followers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former middleweight and light-heavyweight champion Pereira has been on the warpath against the veteran referee since UFC Freedom 250. In his effort to make history and win an unprecedented third belt at heavyweight, Pereira was knocked out by Ciryl Gane on the White House lawn.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, there was massive controversy surrounding the choice to stop the fight on condition that Gane had appeared to hit Pereira to the back of the top multiple times in the ultimate sequence. The Brazilian refuses to let the problem go, and is taking any opportunity to spotlight the referee\u2019s failures.<\/p>\n

Alex Pereira goes after Herb Dean yet again following UFC Baku<\/h2>\n

Following the controversial end to his fight in Washington, DC Alex Pereira has been out for Herb Dean\u2019s head. He’s highlighting every dodgy moment from the veteran referee\u2019s fights \u2013 including tonight\u2019s clash between Shara Magomedov and Michel Pereira.<\/p>\n

Rising Russian star \u2018Shara Bullet\u2019 was called on multiple occasions for pulling Pereira\u2019s hair while on his back. So it got here as something of a surprise when after a stern talking to from Dean he was not penalized for a watch poke in the next round.<\/p>\n

Pereira was not one to let this slide, taking to Instagram to share a post made by Michel Pereira highlighting Dean\u2019s inconsistency. Had Magomedov been deducted a degree, the fight would have resulted in a draw.<\/p>\n

Alex Pereira shared the post with the caption \u201ccoward\u201d to his nearly 7 million Instagram followers. Michel Pereira had put out a series of clips showing Magomedov\u2019s fouls with a caption wherein he questions the veteran referee.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn MMA, there are rules,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThey have to be applied with the identical level of rigor to everyone. Respecting the principles means protecting the integrity of the game and ensuring justice contained in the Octagon. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy opponent was warned several times and was not punished. When a rule is ignored, the result’s compromised.\u201d<\/p>\n
