  1. It's not about apologising it's about their health and protection, no one needs to take that much damage, you'd have to be blind yo not see she could of been seriously hurt….should never ref again.. .period!

  3. I think Chael misses that Yamasaki has gotten it wrong so many times, that it's just irresonsible to put any more lives in his hands. Getting it right a thousand times doesn't mean anything if you got it wrong say 10 imes, and out of those 10, maybe 5 fighters sustained life altering brain injuries because you let a defenseless person continue to take punches to the head. It's not about how many fights he's stopped at the appropriate time, it's about the fact that there have been far too many that he's let go on for way too long.

  5. Not a fan of John McCarthy's fight commentary and post-fight interviews

  6. At least mma rules are fairly straight forward. Probably less straightforward than football or baseball, but nothing like basketball. Doubt many people here watch the NBA but most rules are completely up to whatever the ref feels like calling. They control about 40% of the game which is huge. And they have absolutely zero liability for their performance. Glad mma isnt like that.

  10. If you watch other fights hes refed
    Jones v dc 2 late stoppage
    Romeo v whitman late stoppage
    Their are more examples but really he lets the fight go on gor more hit then it needs to
