Mazzagatti has just been horrible lately

The Rothwell vs Velasquez call was pretty bad, and some recent ones weren’t very good either.

Every ref makes bad calls now and again

The only reason people bitch so much about Mazz is because they wanted Brock to be above the rules.

Hitting in the back of the head is illegal for all fighters. He didn’t stop when warned, so the ref stopped him. He cried, Dana cried, the BrockBoys cried. The ref did his job.

Thats where it started

and now everything he does gets scrutinized (as they say in the clip). If only he didn’t enforce those darn rules against Lesnar, he wouldn’t be singled out like he is now. He’s be just another ref who makes good and bad calls sometimes.

That answer your question?

Seriously, Mazzagatti sucked before the Lesnar fight.

It definitely was the straw that broke the camel’s back, but Steve’s been fucking up for years.

No more so than other refs. The only ref people don’t trash is John McCarthy. Mazz is only singled out because of the publicity from the Lesnar loss.

I've never been a fan of his.

He and Tan Dan shouldn’t even be allowed to ref games of Magic: The Gathering.

I don't know about you,

but I’ve seen a lot of bad calls from Mazzagatti before that.. I didn’t like him even before Lesnar..

plus, what’s that name of the guy who always said “improve your position” every ten seconds on the ground? Don’t like that guy too..

by Anton Tabuena on Dec 4, 2009 7:40 PM EST up reply actions  

oh, Todd Frederickson or something

But then, a lot of the refs from ‘new’ mma states have been horrible.

he seems like a really nice guy

and thats a terrific rebuttal to anyone who asks what he does think of people saying what they do

mazz + points for me
