Smoger was sick and tired of Murat's antics and lashed out. Murat was a garbage fighter and kept punching after Smoger was breaking them up at least ten times. At the end of the fight, and one other occasion he intentionally tried to head butt Hopkins. At least he didn't DQ him. Smoger reacted out of character for sure but he's a top 3 ref in the world and doesn't need to retire. He just needs to leave his emotions out of the fights.
That said, the ref pushing a fighter back to his corner with his face is not acceptable and should at least be scolded publically and allowed to apologize for this.
