@ BIG CHRIS
"Where is Big John when you need him??"
My thoughts exactly.
Dan Miragliotta must have ADD or something.
Fer God sakes! Dan, drink a cup of coffee before you go to work! My six year old pays better attention than you do!
kissenger Says:
What an ass. It's like there's no one else that the UFC could have used to ref these fights. Mirgaliotta is tainted because of the Kimbo shit. He shouldn't ref again.
Scuba Steve Says:
I actually met Big John last week at a tradeshow (he was at the Fight Network booth). Tried to get him to comment on the state of reffing recently and couldn't really get much out of him.
Point is, BJM rules. Dude is huge.

i emailed them but i figured it wouldn't hurt to email more. they also list swick-davis as a middleweight fight near the end. there's some cool pics in there nonetheless.
MKXii Says:
He was also the ref during the Werdum Vera fight and he stopped that shit early too. That's like 30482034 fights he's stopped early. FIRE HIM.
perkedel Says:
Dan Miragliotta should be the judge for Cage Tater t-shirt contest ..
Netterbog Says:
Just a little advocacy for the devil here....but didn't Herb Dean raise the wrong hand more than once? I know I've seen Steve Mazzagatti do it too...
Anonymous Says:
what a slap, fire him!
Kablamo Says:
Let's start it right here and right now. A grass roots petition to recall Big John McCarthy.
Dan Miragliotta makes Steve Mazzagatti look like Mills Lane.
BRING BACK BIG JOHN!!!!
Me Says:
Big John answers all this here

Spacealias Says:
Actually Paul Taylor looks like the other guy! He did in his last fight too, I can never tell who is who in his fights when he taking on another skinny pasty caucasian
mma is looking like boxing now Says:
McCarthy maintains an active role in helping to improve judging and officiating at MMA events. He railed against the current establishment in the sport and said he retired as a referee because of the "good old boys" network that existed within some athletic commissions.
"I left because people were put into positions based on who they know, not what they know," McCarthy said. "It really drove me nuts. I did not want to be a part of that. It's a problem within our sport, and it needs to change."
this explains the KIMBO and VerA fights all fixed this is the main reason i stop watching boxing and started watching mma
