Last weekend, in the co-main event of the UFC’s return to Belem, Brazil’s Priscila\u00a0Cachoeira was brutalized by the far more experienced Valentina Shevchenko en route to a second-round submission loss. In the wake of this brutal fight, there has been widespread criticism of referee Mario Yamasaki. In the eyes of many fans and pundits, the referee should have stopped the fight much earlier.\u00a0<\/span>UFC President Dana White was particularly critical of Yamasaki post-fight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Priscilla Cachoeira, you showed so much heart and toughness in that fight. I\u2019m honored to have you fight in the UFC. Unfortunately the ref is there to protect you and Mario DID NOT do that. This isn\u2019t his first disgusting performance in the octagon. Another unfortunate thing is that i can\u2019t do anything about I️t only the Brazilian commission can and i am hoping after this scary, incompetent showing he hopefully will never set foot in that Octagon again. Strikes landed was 230-3.<\/a><\/p>\n
