Bloody Elbow, for MMA and UFC news

Hear Kim explain how she tries to make MMA a better sport for all. MMA2DAY SHOW interview with MMA’s first female referee Kim Winslow.

Something HAS to be done about Kim Winslow. I mean from the Gian Villante stoppage to the King Mo stoppage to the Jan Finney beating Cyborg gave her all the way to Jeremy Stephens KO'ing Marcus Davis. Here is another one...Only this time, it's wait for it...an early submission stoppage. How many big fights is she going to get before she is reprimanded? We all remember Dakota Cochrane..right? Upset Jamie Varner at Titan FC. Well here is the fight with him and my good friend Corey Simpson attached. You can skip forward to the 9 minute mark if you’d like..The “stoppage” occurs 9:09-9:10 into the video. She stopped it due to a RNC, although you can clearly see there was NO tap, he WAS defending himself and he didn’t even have the choke completely applied. Take a look for yourself I believe this is one Kim Winslow's worst calls and bad thing is it has got swept under the radar.

Last Night Trevor “Hot Sauce” Smith put his 5 fight win streak on the line at StrikeForce against Gian Villante in the 205lbs division. Trevor Smith was hit early and went to the canvas. As per his fighting style, Smith takes a lot of damage in his fights, but always seems to recover well. Smith had taken a few unanswered blows to the head as he attempted to get a leg and reverse the position. All of a sudden, upon attempting to reverse the position, referee Kim Winslow jumped in and stopped the fight. Smith was in mid transition of positions and actually working to improve his position when the fight was stopped. Later in the night, after having stopped this fight early, referee Kim Winslow then stopped the bout between King Mo and Lorenz Larkin late. Larkin took several punches unanswered after already going limp. The winner King Mo, was very outspoken afterwards about the horrible late stoppage. In this interview, Smith contributes the late stoppage as an attempt for Referee Winslow to make up for the early stoppage in his fight. Unfortunately, two wrongs do not make a right and both bouts ended in controversy. Here what fighter Trevor Smith says in regards to the bout below. His camp will file for a no contest and the fighter believes that referee Kim Winslow “Has no business in the sport.” For someone to work as hard as Smith has and to lose the momentum of a 5 fight win streak in this fashion is rather poor and unfortunate.
