Go watch the Manheof fight from Bellator on Friday. Then get back to me. Have nothing against the guy but that fight was shamefull. Both the judging and reffing...

Re: Can we have Big John McCarthy as a REF in UFC 2.

Admittedly, I haven't read that article so this question may be answered in that; why would you not put him in your game? I feel like he's just as synonymous with the UFC (MMA) as guys like Dana, Buffer, and Rogan.

I totally agree!!!

He has been in the UFC since day 1, and also in ea mma his character model looked great.

To me not having him in is like not having Bruce Buffer, Dana, Rogan they have all been there from the start or close to it and when you watch UFC a lot you will see he is there main head ref. It's Herb Dean and Big Jon the UFC best 2 refs.

The only thing wrong with that fight is that both guys seemed to forget that they were supposed to be fighting. It was atrocious. Nothing was wrong with the officiating, though, nor was it fixed. It was just another bad Bellator fight.

It certainly didn't reflect poorly on Big John. He took a point away from Sakai earlier that night for consecutive low blows, so I don't know why you're acting like John wasn't doing his job correctly, but he was doing just fine.

No chance the fight was fixed, especially with BJM of all people, the best in the business. Former LAPD and rolled and trained with all the Gracies, the guy knows more about MMA than most analysts forget. The issue in the fight is it was two middle of the road MMA fighters with the better of the two (Melvin) being a gasser in his prime let alone when he was 40.

So 3 low blows. Multiple warnings for his fingers out and grabbing the fence undetected is a good job. To each their own I guess.
