Check out this sherdog.com article on the sports most respected ex-referee “Big” John McCarthy and his plans to fix the rules of mixed martial arts.

Quote Worthy:

“Would I have stopped the fight? No, I wouldn’t,” McCarthy said. “You’ve got to give Brandon a chance to get out of that position, and you’ve got to give Fabricio the chance to make it a definitive victory.”

“Was it illegal?” McCarthy asked in regard Marquardt’s elbow. “No, it wasn’t.”

“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.”
