I feel like the time off after her last fight will give Ribas a chance to come back in better form but Araujo who is much older is gonna start to decline after her Grasso loss.

gliese58i True. What annoys me is that Joe Rogan keeps saying that Herb is the gold standard. Everytime he's reffing he keeps saying how good he is. He hasn't been the best ref for a good while now.

Possible with a 7 year gap but I haven't seen the beginning of such a decline yet and 36 isn't THAT old. WMMA flyweights also last longer than men, it's a heavier weight for them than it is for men.

I think Vivi has fixed her cardio problems. That should give her the advantage. She has to look out for Ribas's volume and judo

@Rah123

Marc Goddard and Herb Dean still belong in the good referee column in my opinion.  I think Herb Dean has been a great referee for ONE Championship.

tepid55  All refs make mistakes and even the good ones have messed up really big. However, Herb has had many of those moments these past few years. More than Goddard or Herzog.

I know this is long passed by now, but William Knight’s last fight was one of the worst I’ve ever seen. It got a good laugh out of me though.
