Alex Pereira Criticizes Referee Herb Dean After UFC White House Loss

Alex Pereira has voiced his dissatisfaction with referee Herb Dean after his knockout loss to Ciryl Gane at UFC White House. The former two-division champion, who moved up to heavyweight for this fight, was stopped in the second round, claiming he suffered from illegal strikes to the back of the head.

Pereira directed his anger at Dean after the match, stating that the referee should have intervened to differentiate between legal and illegal strikes. He believes that if the rules had been enforced properly, he might have had a chance to recover from the initial jab that led to his defeat.

Despite this setback, Pereira remains focused on his heavyweight career and is determined to pursue another title opportunity. No future fights have been scheduled for him at this time.
