‘Be honest…how much did you lose?’ – Jason Herzog hits back at a fan who questioned his refereeing at UFC 256
Deiveson Figueiredo vs Brandon Moreno proved to be a cracker of a contest. The match ended in a majority draw, with both the fighters putting up a ‘lion-heart’ performance. Despite the draw, Deiveson Figueiredo would have been a relieved man, because he didn’t lose his belt.
However, the match was quite marred with controversy, as match referee Jason Herzog was criticized for deducting a point off Deiveson Figueiredo in the third round of the fight. Many fans even claimed that, the point deduction played a crucial role in Deiveson not winning the match.
More recently, Jason Herzog hit back at an angry fan who called him to be fired. Herzog cheekily replied asking the fan how much he had lost (bet)?
