Wow. After watching this video several times and TRYING to look at it objectively, I see 2 MASSIVE and potentially DANGEROUS mistakes on the part of the referee Milton from Toshi Refs. 1.) At 7:57, he steps in between the fighters AND literally STARTS TO PULL Elton off to stop the fight. He had already set a precedent of quick stoppages earlier in the night with Oliver Mesa (who was flash knocked out the exact same as Ludwig, but was given ZERO chance to recover). His explanation after the fight was that momentum carried him into the fighters but the video CLEARLY shows otherwise. 2.) After Elton is taken to the ground at 10:49 Milton is in great position to see the action. He, for some reason decides to run all the way around to the other side of the fighters instead of simply staying where he is or moving two steps to his right to get a better angle. During this time Elton received SEVEN ILLEGAL BLOWS TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND SPINAL COLUM. We could see it perfectly from our corner. This has NOTHING to do with Ludwig, his team, or his fight; 100% to do with the ATROCIOUS refereeing. We all understand how hard it must be to referee, but this is complete bullshit and potentially dangerous to the fighters that participate. Milton should be ashamed, make a statement admitting his mistakes, and resign from refereeing, period! This is not us complaining about a loss, we are better than that. This is about being ROBBED by shitty refereeing. We will be filing a formal complaint with the UCC, Toshi Refs, and whatever international MMA committee needed to overturn this decision. Our guys work too hard to have the fight taken away like this. Unacceptable!
