The large majority of refs, judges, timekeepers, inspectors, and docs, feel lucky to work
even small shows. Front row seats, great group of athletes, coaches etc.

I can only speak for California:
Refs are topped off at 1K per event, ppv or not, for MMA cards. Boxing is different.
The alphabet soups pay a lot more for world title fights, close to 2K. What...
He has been a great addition to their team.
Some credit, though, should go to Billy Olson, for help with Muay Thai/striking
(however, he just broke his hand last week.....)
This was a very important, and deserving win for Josh. I know first hand some of the many injuries
and illness,that kept him competing for most of ~ 2 years. He has had a great career already,and...
1,2 and 5 Gil.
What is it with 155lb championship fights , though? seem to always be much closer than other divisions.
This was a very eventful day/evening of UFC fights. From the very first flying knee KO
to the (close,close,close) main event final, things were happening. The only fight to
draw a tepid...
This is accurate.
No one is 100% after even the best ACL repair. He has accumulated a lot of wear and tear from all his 5 round
wars. We have seen him repeatedly, not be able to finish off...
Cesar hates to travel.
and usually does not, regardless of the match ups his guys have.
it was ruled a No Contest under CAMO rules

This is from an amateur show I worked last night (Galaxy Fights, Yuba City,California)
unofficial record for quickest double KO?
Demonstrated the...
december 2011, i worked a card where Warpath dismantled Don Frye..........Don Frye seems to move faster than Tank.
This is going to end ugly for Tank. I have to wonder if this fight will be at an...
Clay is not getting a lot of love recently.
But he is very popular in northern California. At the first Silva/Sonnen fight in Oakland, he
got more pop than anyone but Silva.
This is going to...
Free high quality mma is great.
I expect Michael MacDonald will replace Bones as the youngest ever UFC chamnpion. His boxing is excellent.
that will be a very interesting fight.
this card definitely will be more interesting than some ppv's.
12:1 for the Reem? I would love to lay some $ on BigFoot. Given his size and strength,
he is not that bad an underdog. Bigfoot for KO of the night :)
GSP should have just said "i really want to smash Diaz", and no one really would have had a problem with the fight.
that was a really excellent first episode. My wife and I felt bad for most of the losers, having seen their family
and friends, and hearing their stories. That has to be hard to take, get through...
Nice lineup!
We may not get another major mma show in northern California this year, so i sure hope this a loaded card.
One of the juicers won his fight. The percentage of testosterone/ anabolic steroid users that get popped, and have lost, is pretty amazing.
if you mean in California, that is not accurate.
sorry if i am not understanding the short hand.
good stuff! one dude warmed up by drinking motor oil.....that did not work out too
well. Sly, driving his truck, practicing with his fighting arm.
yes, that was a horrible crowd.
While i have always been fond of San Jose crowds, I just recently rewatched
Hendo vs Shogun........there was booing in the early 2nd round :(
I was shocked,...
nice to see Sapp win something.
and not go into a turtule defense.
last dude was fast.
i am really looking foward to a title showdown.
the main reasoon i would not mind a "fight in" for Gilbert, is to get rid of ring rust and be at his very best
for BH.
I remember meeting Robbie (i believe 19 at the time) after UFC 40 where he Koed Tiki.........hard to believe
he is active now, tyring to cut to 170lb. I will be pulling for Robbie, but do not think...
