‘Hey, I’ll throw your a** out of here’: MMA Referee Shoves Fighter, Faces Potential Lifetime Ban
The fight occurred on January 20 during an RDC 10 event, and things escalated in the second round. As Foxworth attempted a takedown, Gidron appeared to have illegally held the cage. Munz intervened and stopped the fight. Gidron and Munz exchanged some harsh words. The fighter pushed the referee, who responded in kind. Gidron then threw a punch as security intervened.
A referee and a fighter got into a heated physical altercation at a recent MMA event in Arkansas.

The fight was restarted and a new referee was put in place. Foxworth won the fight via unanimous decision. The Arkansas State Athletic Commission (ASAC) disqualified Munz. His license has been suspended with a hearing set for March 5, where he could receive a lifetime ban. Gidron aims to overturn the result to a no-contest.
“As I pushed him off, he came right back and said, ‘Hey, I’ll throw your a** out of here. I’m the ref. You don’t put your f***ing hands on me. That’s when I said, ‘You don’t put your forearm in my throat. You don’t do that.’ That’s when he pushed me. After that, it just went crazy. They went in there.
“I don’t know if they thought I was going to go at him or what that was. Any fighter that goes through that, it just throws you off. It throws you completely off your game plan. It throws you completely off everything. I don’t believe no one should lose their job. At the end of the day, we’re all in this for the fun. If you’re not having fun with this, you’re in the wrong sport,” Gidron
Social Media Response
Ref was telling him to stop, he wouldn’t so he pushed him off. Fighter persists to get in refs face (who knows what he said to him for the ref to shove him) This is completely on the fighter.

Crazy how many people are standing up for the fighter or the ref. The fighter started it by putting his hands(shoving)on the ref. Then the ref escalated the situation by shoving the fighter back. Both should be fired/suspended minimum.
