Start Fighting or I will Stop & Rule No Contest

Rob McCullough vs Marcus Hicks

Did anyone else hear the referee tell the fighters to start fighting or he would stop the fight and rule it a "NO CONTEST" I beleive it was the 3rd round.

I never heard that ever before?

I heard it also.

Can a ref legally do that and if so why wasn't it done during the Stanes match?

dengar - I heard it also.

 ttt for an answer

I think it's sort of like saying "You and that other dummy better start getting more personally involved in your work, or I'm gonna stab you through the heart with a fuckin' pencil."

You aren't going to do it, but it produces results

Kirik for a ruling!?

 "You aren't going to do it, but it produces results"



Not in this case, unfortunately.
