"Refereeing with 200 ping" - Fans in splits as UFC analyst Din Thomas hilariously recreates his "idol" Herb Dean refereeing 

UFC analyst Din Thomas' hilarious take on veteran referee Herb Dean in action drew multiple reactions from fans.

Thomas uploaded a video to Twitter where he donned the all-black garb of a referee, a wig similar to Dean's hair, and mock-refereed a fight inside the octagon. In the video, Thomas is seen gesturing like Dean and he also nails the ambling walk of the experienced official.

Thomas also lounges on a couch in the video and takes his own sweet time to put an end to the fight. He captioned the video:

"Herb Din is my idol @HerbDeanMMA"

Jake Paul takes on UFC president Dana White, plans to start a fighters' union

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul remains unbeaten after going eight rounds against former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.

After yet again proving the mixed martial arts world wrong, 'The Problem Child' called out UFC president Dana White. In his post-fight press conference, Paul said:

"Dana [White], bro you said I wouldn't do this, and I did it with flying colors. But he's in hiding, you know? He doing all he can to stop my run and sabotage my fights. He hates me, he hates what I'm doing, he hates that I'm exposing his business."

Paul further expanded on his plans to create a union for MMA fighters to advocate for better fighter pay and healthcare coverage:

"Now we [ Paul and Silva] are going to band together and create a United Fighters Association to help UFC fighters, all MMA fighters, and boxers to get more fighter pay, long-term healthcare... So, man, Dana White can suck this d**k."
