'Disgusted' Dana White slams 'despicable' Roy Nelson for kicking ref John McCarthy - 'He needs to be buried'

It wasn’t the hardest kick, perhaps just a nudge, but Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White is disgusted with Roy Nelson’s actions toward referee John McCarthy at UFC Fight Night 95 this past weekend (Sat., Sept. 24, 2016) in Brasilia, Brazil. "Big Country" was upset because "Big John" hesitated to put an end to the punishment he was inflicting on his friend Antonio Silva, giving him a small kick to the butt as the official was tending to "Bigfoot" moments after he waived off the Heavyweight showdown (watch it again here).

An irate White told the "UFC Unfiltered" Podcast (via MMA Fighting) that what Nelson did is downright inexcusable.
