Reactions To Mario Yamasaki’s Terrible Non-Stoppage At UFC Belem

The year is 2074. Earth has been overrun by martians, who make their way to Belem, Brazil to find Valentina Shevchenko still punching a lifeless Priscila Cachoeira as Mario Yamasaki looks on, emotionless and cold.

Right about now I never want to see Mario Yamasaki ref another fight. That was like watching graphic porn

I've said it once, and I'll say it again: Yamasaki is one of those guys who burns steak just to make sure it's done.

Corners in @ufc should start throw the towel in mma just like in boxing when referes like Yamasaki it's in change of stoppages #UFCBelem

OMG Yamasaki WTF are you doing !!!!!

— patrick cote (@patrick_cote) February 4, 2018

Mario Yamasaki should probably not be allowed to ref anymore.

— Jeremy Botter (@jeremybotter) February 4, 2018

Ok Yamasaki…do your job now.

Shevchenko has landed 90 shots to Cachoeira's zero.

That's not intelligent defense.

END THE FIGHT.

Mário Yamasaki is into some weird shit… dude probably beats his meat after refereeing fights like this… #UFCBelem

As expected, @BulletValentina absolutely dominated tonight. But honestly, it's hard to say anything about that fight other than it should be the last one Yamasaki refs. #UFCBelem

Not sure what Yamasaki needed to see for a stoppage. Foaming at the mouth? Full body spasms? #UFCBelem

Ohhhhhh…The 1 strike is the reason Yamasaki didn’t stop the fight. https://t.co/Wl7HkAX3vs

There should be a rule that whenever a fighter is a -500 favorite or higher, Mario Yamasaki and his blood lust should not be allowed to ref.

— RJ Clifford (@RJcliffordMMA) February 4, 2018

This ought to be Mario Yamasaki's final assignment in the UFC.

Mario Yamasaki flashes that heart sign at the start of the fight, then shows no heart the rest of the way.

— Jeff Wagenheim (@jeffwagenheim) February 4, 2018

Absolutely fucking disgraceful performance by Mario Yamasaki. Let that fight go on way longer than it should have, especially at the end, and missed her initial tap. Shame on the UFC for putting that fight on. They knew what they were getting into there. Embarrassing. #UFCBelem
