There was much commotion at the end of Saturday night’s light heavyweight main-card bout between Jim Crute and Sam Alvey at UFC 234.
Alvey popped right up off the mat after referee Marc Goddard waved the bout off in the first round, looking no worse for wear, vigorously protesting the ruling of a Crute TKO victory in the first round of the matchup at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.
Not only did UFC president Dana White agree with the notion the fight was waved off too soon, but he also believes Goddard got important calls wrong twice over the course of the fight.
