Summary

Brendan Allen picked up the biggest win of his career in the main event of UFC Vancouver. But as impressive as Allen's performance was against Reinier de Ridder, the biggest story of the night was referee Dan Miragliotta in not one, but two fights — most notably, the co-main event between Mike Malott and Kevin Holland. Following a strange and weird UFC Fight Night event, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to how it all went down, Allen's TKO win over de Ridder and the big takeaways, and where both fighters could go next. Additionally, they discuss the rough night for Miragliotta and if anything will ever change with officiating in MMA, Malott's win over Holland, Aiemann Zahabi getting his seventh straight win, Manon Fiorot's destruction of Jasmine Jasudavicius, and much more.
