Recognizing and penalizing that behavior would have been a great way to potentially minimize the odds of that fight occurring.
Then again, maybe not. But, fights usually have their roots in that type of behavior.
I don't envy the official that thought he could pull the two fighters off each other. He ended up on the bottom of a dog pile.

100% agree. It might not have prevented it but it would have been a nice start.
