not a very good mma ref imo
agreed
Indeed.
I cringe now every time I hear his name just like I do when they announce Cecil Peeples (sp?).
-"DJ CRUSH"
I guess he is supposed to be the next BJM...except BJM can never be replaced
"I cringe now every time I hear his name just like I do when they announce Cecil Peeples (sp?)."
exactly.
I never thought I'd long to have Cecil Peoples back reffing. But I'd take Cecil any day over Dan.
He's the first ref I've ever bashed. On upcoming cards, I'm going to look for the ref assigned - just as much as I'd look for the fighters involved.
Terrible. People who don't even watch mma know him as "that big ref who stopped the Kimbo fight". I had a co-worker comment on it last night.
And now this. He's really pushing it. Too much is riding on these fights, you can't have someone in there who doesn't understand the game. He's no BJM, if that's what they were going for. Replace him. Immediately.

The Kimbo fight was a joke.
The Vera fight however should have been stopped or is at least justified. Everytime I've fought or cornered the ref explains in the prefight that fetal position is not an intelligent defense. It's rule #1 Vera can cry all he wants
If Vera was constantly updating him with "I'm Okay", why stop the fight? I think Miragliotta is one of these guys that think the show is all about him.
ptm2020 - not a very good mma ref imo
Agreed.
i like the style of reffing like on gracies in action..the corner throws in the towel, he picks it up wipes his head then calls the fight, let the fighters determine the outcome, they are fighters
I predict BJM coming out of retirement to show these guys how it's done a la Randy Couture.
MIKERUSSELL - I predict BJM coming out of retirement to show these guys how it's done a la Randy Couture.
That would be great.
this thread is true...
I knew shit was going to happen when I saw Dan's face on the tv. Either the UFC didn't learn their lesson from watching EliteXC or Dan was already scheduled to ref this way in advance, hopefully he's gone after UFC 85.
Big John coming back would rule.
He is the pit of suck!
Agreed. Has anyone caught an interview with Dan yet? Anyone know?
