Dana White blasts referee Mario Yamasaki for late main event stoppage

Dana White is rarely shy about passing on his opinion about the performances of officials. Sunday night was no exception.

The UFC president slammed referee Mario Yamasaki on Twitter for a late stoppage during the main event of UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs. Cowboy in Pittsburgh. Donald Cerrone caught Alex Oliveira in a triangle in the first round and Oliveira tapped quite a few times before Yamasaki stepped in to call the bout off.

10 taps before Yamasaki stops it after @Cowboycerrone tells him!!! And he was looking right at it.
