I always liked seeing Miragliotta manhandling Paul Daley after his Koscheck suckerpunch.

Is that really Mazagati laid out for the save in that first one? Way to sacrifice yourself dude! I think he should bring back the 70s pornstar mustache he used to rock. It was his best feature as a ref.

Garza was very close to killing that poor dude.

Thank god for the Maz and his shoulder tackle.

@Fletch the V Stretch - The ref poked Heath Herring in the eye in that one. Dan Miragliotta is an idiot.

I always thought it was funny when Alessio used the ref's shirt to wipe the blood from his face ... but that's just me.

@ Fletch
Hardy was fighting Gono. Right before the end of the fight Gono went to throw a flying knee and Big Dan stepped in to stop it and ended up shoving him on his ass because Gono landed weird

I'm not 100% sure but I think the first gif is Pablo Garza hammerfucking Fredson Paixao.

Time expired in the Dan Hardy Gif. So the ref had to stop the flying knee attempt. might have put out Hardy's lights too.

What fight is the very first one?

Hahaha, I don't remember half of these happening. The ref divebomb/tackle in the first one is great. And Cecil, man, wtf??

Yoshiaki Yatsu may have been the worst fighter ever to step in the cage/ring. But fuck could that guy take some damage. The second fight with Goodridge I'm sure he told his corner to throw the fucking towel as fast and hard as possible so he didn't end up with more brain damage caused by their first fight. If you've never seen it google 'Goodridge Yatsu' right now. Maybe the most damage anyone's ever taken in an mma fight (without breaking a limb).

Every time I see that Cecil Peoples gif, I just think of how long he must have spent in front of a full length mirror figuring that move out.

^Damnit Bacon, I was about to say that. And how is Vila not in the UFC flyweight tourny? I know he lost in the Bellator tourny, anybody know if he's still under contract with them?

LOL, ok it all makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up Ben.

I don't know, you could have just added another page of big Dan, I wouldn't have complained.

Whats even better about the double KO one is, that referee is actually Mr International himself: Shonie Carter guest refereeing that fight.

@ MediocreThreat: I think that's Goodridge/Yatsu 2 @ PRIDE 16.

@ Fletch: Miragliotta intercepted Gono because the round ended. Miragliotta poked Herring in the eye. I had like four more Miragliotta gifs I could have used, but I didn't want to make this all about Big Dan.
