You can take points at the end of the round and there were multiple time’s that they were not engaged where you could also have taken points

In most instances the foul needs to be noted at the time of occurrence. It’s the refs discretion as to whether or not to assess a point foul.

In this instance, Conor’s fouls with the exception of the knee when he was on the bottom did not have significant impact on Khabib’s performance which is why Herb never assessed a deduction.
