Game Crashes after Title Defense (Ref announcing winner)

I'm playing career mode, and doing fine up until my 6th title defense, it crashes right before the ref declares a winner.

I had accepted a contract to fight overeem, and he was injured so I fought somebody else. When the fight ended I saw one of the "tweets" on the right side saying overeem was going to be retiring. ***

I had my next contract and they offered me overeem. He had NR (No rating)*** but I decided that I wanted to fight him anyway. So i progressed through the weeks and get to fight day, and beat him, but it freezes when declaring a winner.

Does this have anything to do with him retiring?

Does me beating him bug the game because it doesn't know where to put him in ranks after the fight because of the NR/retirement? 

I think the retirement MAY be the culprit for other peoples issues as well.

I pre-ordered this game and am 18 hard earned fights into my career and I can't progress. I am NOT happy. There's no point in starting another career as I will probably have the same issue as others did. I will not be playing the game again until it gets fixed.
