Tweet of the day: Dana White blasts referee for late stoppage in UFC headliner

The UFC president took to Twitter to criticize referee Mario Yamasaki for what he believes was a late stoppage in Sunday's main event fight between 'Cowboy' Cerrone and 'Cowboy' Oliveira.

UFC president Dana White has always been the first one to criticize referees who have failed during one of his fight nights one way or another. This time around, in the aftermath of Sunday's UFC event in Pittsburgh, it was veteran referee Mario Yamasaki who earned the wrath of the world's leading MMA organization's outspoken head honcho.

In the evening's headlining bout between Donald Cerrone and Alex Oliveira, Yamasaki stepped in considerably late while Oliveira desperately tapped in a triangle choke by the "Cowboy".
