Haven't seen Pellegrino/Tavares yet.
But can’t argue with the other two awards at all.
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

… it’s really a shame that the “Fight of the Night” was one of the two fights they weren’t able to show.

For the record
I was the only on staff here to call Pellegrino over Tavares.
But man, I am still in shock over Evans’ KO. What a shot.

The silence afterwards was absolutely deafening.
Pivotal moment in Chuck’s, and hopefully Rashad’s career. I would love it if Rashad could threaten this type of explosive power from here on out, it would make him a really interesting guy to follow.

I wanted to pick Pellegrino
but as you said in your predictions, he seems to tend to give away fights when he should be closing them out so I didn’t go with my original thought and instead played it safe. You are the man on that one…

I can't help but think....
Any other referee other than Yves Lavigne, the fight would have been stopped within the first 30 sec. Why isn’t he doing main events?

He did the VAST majority of fights at the Minnesota UFC.

Good points. I’m always happy to see Yves refereeing a fight.
