I thought it was early, but didn’t notice back-of-the-head shots. It seems there are more bad refs than good ones.

All I can say is Matt Brown vs Pete Sell. WTF? Sell was a zombie and the ref did nothing!!!

After witnessing the fight live, reading this blog post and follow up comments.. I have come to 2 conclusions,

1. Chad Edwards has taken too many hits to the head,

2. Dan Miragliotta HAS NO BUSINESS reffing in the ring.

Both men are equally as retarded.

I think the fight could have continued a few seconds longer just to see if Amir had the chance to recover.

At the same time fighter safety is important and Dan Miragliotta was just trying to do his job.

Since there’s no standing 8 count in MMA there will always be situations like this where judgment will be questioned.

Dan Miragliotta doesnt know what he is saying he doesnt belong in the UFC Dana should fire him this isnt the first time hes screwed up a fight. Hendricks was throwing illegal punches to the back of the head and amir was down on all four because if he got up jonny could have punched him. Amir landed EVERY punch and he had a kick that BROKE jonnys hand. it is so obvious that dan should have been fired every person in the wachovia center was booing that idiot.

Chad, that’s absolutely incorrect. I’m not a fuck-up. In fact, I have a better, more stable job than you. You write a blog! I have a blog, too! But they are abstracts from all my theses from college… I’m actually educated.

It looks like you have no idea what you’re talking about, Chad. Calling me a douchebag is not going to help defend your cause.

Not only should Dan be fired, but you, Chad, should be fired as well. You have destroyed whatever potential credibility fighters.com could have ever had by MMA fans.

Just a correction on The Chad post. There are no UFC refs. The refs are assigned by the athletic commision of the state the fight takes place in. There are very few sanctioned mma refs, That is why you see the same ones over and over.

WHY IS NOBODY MENTIONING THE FACT THAT THOSE WERE BLATANTLY ILLEGAL BLOWS TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!!!!!!!! Everyshot was to the back of Sadollah’s head, it’s a terrible call, not saying Amir would’ve won or anything, but it’s a terrible stoppage based on the fact that not 1 of those punches (on the ground) was legal….anybody getting punched int he back of the head won’t be able to get up, he’s basically getting held/pushed down by the swings…Bid Dan should be Big Douche…stupid orange a-hole

How can this site be termed “News” in Google? You have no idea what you are talking about. Dan has on several occasions messed up calls. This is just one more notch in his belt. Stop sucking the teet of the UFC refs OP! He was incorrect and so are you.

Obviously Dan is trying to falsely justify his call by giving all these excuses like he was out but I didn’t see his face and hes gonna get some brain trauma and die BS. Dan needs to get fired and they need to bring some legit veteran refs back. No idea why Chad is defending Dan so adamantly and is a fucking retard for doing so.
