Thank God Kim Winslow wasn't in charge.

Herb Dean is widely regarded as the best referee in the business but even he struggles in certain situations. The veteran official and former fighter was the third man in the cage when Aorigele took on Kim Jae-Hun at Road FC 27 this weekend. Aorigele won the heavyweight bout via first round TKO but failed to acknowledge Dean when he jumped in to call a halt to proceedings. Instead, the Chinese heavyweight continued pounding away on his prone opponent and Dean was forced to get Aorigele in a half nelson to end the onslaught. Cue the opposing cornermen getting involved and security rushing into the cage to make sure that things didn't get out of hand.
