Dana White criticizes NAC and Herb Dean for Contender Series controversy

Dana White expressed disagreement with the Nevada Athletic Commission's ruling following an illegal knee incident during Dana White's Contender Series 94 on September 29. The NAC upheld a TKO decision instead of declaring a no contest after reviewing the replay. White stated that referee Herb Dean made a mistake during the fight between Ian Escuza and Luca Borando, agreeing with Sean Shelby's recommendation to offer Escuza a UFC contract despite the controversy. It remains uncertain if Borando will contest the Commission's decision, as appeals rarely lead to changes.
