Referee Vyacheslav Kiselev has been pulled from UFC 267 in a stunning turn of events after he came under scrutiny for his performance in Elizeu dos Santos’ unanimous decision over Benoit Saint-Denis.

The former light heavyweight fighter was in charge of a bout which saw newcomer Benoit Saint-Denis suffer a savage beating, with Dos Santos recording 149 significant strikes to 67.

Dos Santos was also able to land 96 major blows on Saint-Denis’ head and the fight was clearly taking its toll, prompting calls to stop the fight in the second round after a series of unanswered punches and knees.

Commentators Daniel Cormier and Paul Felder even at one point were even heard shouting on the broadcast for the fight to be stopped.

“Stop the fight,” they yelled.

“I don’t know what he needs to see… this is crazy,” Cormier added.

Dos Santos comfortably won the fight 29-26 on all three judges’ scorecards but the broadcast team was still stunned the bout was allowed to go that far.

It was later confirmed Kiselev had been removed from his next assignment at UFC 267 and would be replaced by veteran referee Marc Goddard.

“Thank you. Thank you. It’s the right thing to do and I’m glad the UFC acted accordingly and very quickly to take him away from the arena,” Cormier said on the broadcast.

Cormier did not back down later on social media, tweeting: “Honestly the worst performance I have seen from a referee in my life. Honestly a hard job but man unreal. Makes you respect the good ones like @JasonHerzogMMA @JohnMcCarthyMMA @HerbDeanMMA and many more. I hated watching that I hope Benoit is heading to hospital right now !”

UFC boss Dana White called it “pretty bad” and “horrible”.

Dos Santos himself agreed that the fight should have been stopped much earlier, telling reporters post-fight he felt sorry for the Frenchman.

“It was pretty clear that the referee should have stopped it,” the Brazilian welterweight said. “He ended up making the fight a lot tougher than it should have been.

“I feel sorry for the guy because he ended up getting injured way more than he should have – and for myself as well, because when you’re beating someone up, you’re getting hurt yourself as well.

“We didn’t know that he had been removed but we did talk about it with the doctors and medical staff – that he didn’t do his job, he was putting people in danger.”
