Aljamain Sterling slams Herb Dean’s performance, questions ref’s vocal warnings in Dvalishvili vs. O’Malley fight

Off the back of his teammate, Merab Dvalishvili at Noche UFC over the course of last weekend, former bantamweight titleholder, Aljamain Sterling has claimed referee, Herb Dean likely “interjected” way too much in the pairing with Sean O’Malley — after the official called for more action on multiple occasions.

Headlining the promotional’s Noche UFC card at the Las Vegas Sphere, Georgian wrestling ace, Dvalishvili managed to turn in a one-sided unanimous decision win over common-for, O’Malley — winning his first championship in the promotion at the first time of asking to boot.
