Referee Chris Tognoni stirred up a bit of controversy over the weekend when he made a questionable call during round two of the Mike Rodriguez-Ed Herman fight at UFC Vegas 10. What he thought to be a groin shot turned out to be a clean knee strike to the body.
Herman ended up winning via a last-ditch kimura in the third round, but many including UFC president Dana White weren’t happy with the result. As Tognoni expectedly got some heat, so did Herman.
Rodriguez, however, is ready to move on.
“I would just say it happened, it was an awkward moment in our sport,” the 31-year-old fighter told MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck.
