## Resource

In a wild seventh-round moment at Madison Square Garden, referee Eric Dali tumbled to the canvas alongside fighter Steven Butler during a brutal super middleweight bout against Edgar Berlanga—leading to a technical knockout win for Berlanga. Dali, no stranger to high-stakes calls (he’d earlier stopped a fight where Shadasia Green suffered a brain bleed), is being praised for his quick action despite the chaotic visuals. Even Dana White called the ending “very weird,” underscoring how unpredictable and intense these fights can be—and how refs often have to act fast to protect fighters, even if it looks messy.
