Maybe a closer look at Referee Dan Mirgliotta ...

MikaXIII - Anthony Johnson deserved it

he got what was coming to him, if he was on weight Im sure non of this would have happened so it's all his fault

I'm glad the ref stood them up twice super fast, I don't know if he was paid off or not but if he was then so what big deal Johnson should of make weight

I hope Dana fires Johnson


holy fucking shill post. dana already fired johnson and a guy missing weight means the fight should be crooked? WAHT THE FUCk? AM i READING THIS?

You do know anthony made 186 like an hour before the weigh ins, but the doctors wouldnt let him wait that long before rehydrating. vitor was 206 and anthony 211 by fight time. Not a big difference at all. You think some ref should alter a fight because of that? fuck you buddy.

I think that Dan was under orders from DFW to stand them up quickly, the same reason johnson came out aggressive, because DFW told him he was fighting for his contract, it all makes sense, this is also only my beliefs and therefore not libelous!

Heath/Brock
Kimbo/Thompson
Vitor/Rumble

He's terrible.

StayRad - 
Neil McCauley - is needed.

Those standups in the vitor/johnson fight were atrocious. Almost to the point where you have to think theres a conspiracy going on. IF you guys recall correctly, dan mirg was also the guy who (was paid by gary shaw imo) kept that kimbo vs james thompson going even though kimbo was taking unanswered shots, and then had the balls to stop james thompson when he rocked on the feet.

If I was zuffa and wanted to make sure anthony johnson lost, to not only keep the tuf brazil ball rolling for vitor, but a fuck you for the whole weight cutting fiasco, dan mirg(who zuffa chose to bring to brazil) would be the man i would pay to have the fight go down the way i wanted.

IMO dan mirg is a crook, a fraud and bad for the sports integrity, we all need to keep an eye on this guy.

RyannVonDoom - He's the ref that poked Heath in the left eye in the rules exchange at UFC 87. Same eye that brock caught Heath with that overhand right on. Yep. I went there.


Heath had nothing for Brock on the ground that fight, eye poke or not, he wasn't going to win!


We'll never know. It's forever tainted by Mirgliotta.


Brock OWNED him that whole fight, in fact he was making fun of him during it because Heath had NOTHING for Brock. They can fight 10 times (at that pt in time) and the same thing happens every fight. I understand you are friends with Heath but don't be silly.


Heath got poked in the eye by the fucking referee and then got his orbital bone broken by a massive punch 10 seconds into the fight. He never even had a shot...thanks to the ref.

Yes it was quick stand ups but watch again and you will see rumble not doing anything on top and vitor with a good tight guard.. he made the right call. Phone Post

Not true. You should watch again.
