Jungle Fight 88 took place over the weekend in Brazil and one of the referees from the event is getting a lot of criticism.
Henrique Lopes and Johnny Walker met in the cage and Lopes crushed Walker at the start of round one. Walker suffered three flash knockouts in a matter of seconds before referee Douglas Aires called a stop to the bout.
Although Walker was able to fight back after going out, the referee is in there to keep fighters safe.
