Alex Pereira's anti-Herb Dean quest gains support after he allowed more 'cheating' at UFC Sacramento

Alex Pereira's campaign against veteran UFC referee Herb Dean has gained wider fan support following UFC Sacramento, where Dean was again booed for controversial officiating. Pereira, the former UFC light heavyweight and middleweight champion, has been publicly criticizing Dean since their June 14 White House event, where he lost an interim heavyweight title fight against Ciryl Gane via TKO, alleging the stoppage followed illegal shots. The latest controversy stems from the UFC Sacramento main event, where Gregory Rodrigues defeated Anthony Hernandez in an upset, with Dean accused of allowing Rodrigues to 'cheat' during the bout.
