Fans think a UFC referee deserves prison time after failing to stopping a clash where one fighter took 19 headshots on the floor.<\/p>\n

Bobby Green was knocked out in thunderous fashion by Jalin Turner in the first round at UFC Austin on Saturday. The 37-year-old veteran suffered his 15th career defeat after being caught on the temple, at which point he faced a barrage of heavy shots and fell to the canvas.<\/p>\n

Referee Kerry Hatley surely should have called the fight there and then, but allowed a brutally excessive ground and pound by \u2018The Tarantula\u2019 to take place while Green lay limp on his stomach. Hatley finally stepped in after 19 headshots – and the entire MMA community, including former fighters and commentators, were left disgusted at his late decision.<\/p>\n

One fan wrote on X: \u201cThis is one of the worst MMA stoppages I have ever seen. The amount of unprotected ground and pound strikes Bobby took. The ref\u2019s job is to protect the fighter at all costs. Awful stoppage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another tweeted: \u201c19 headshots on the floor. Ref needs prison man,\u201d while a third added: \u201cWHAT IS THAT REF DOING?!?!\u201d<\/p>\n

Others slammed the referee by commenting: \u201cKnocked him out 6 times,\u201d and \u201cDisgusting stoppage. How many unanswered shots does it take?!?!\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you think the referee should face punishment? Let us know in the comments section.<\/i><\/b>

Furious British UFC legend Michael Bisping said on commentary: \u201cHe was face down, he was getting ground and pounded by a very powerful, world class striker. Bobby Green is still down. That\u2019s disgusting, it should have been stopped right there.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a great referee but what the hell was he waiting for? It\u2019s as simple as that. People\u2019s lives are at stake, their long term future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was utterly disgraceful. If he was face down in the octagon with someone cracking him in the face, he would want it to be stopped sooner. \u201c<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thankfully, after a minute or so out cold and receiving treatment, Green got up and gracefully went over to congratulate his opponent. And he followed it up with a video message on social media.<\/p>\n

Green said: "Well guys, you win some, you lose some. I just wanna show people that you\u2019ve got to keep it G when you win, you\u2019ve got to keep it G when you lose. Shout out to Jalin, you did your thing brother and I\u2019m so happy for you.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo all my people. It\u2019s just another step in the career. I\u2019m not going anywhere, love you guys.\u201d<\/p>\n
