Default Your vote for favourite Ref?

Easily the best IMO, Yves Lavigne.

that is not a top 5 list, I just listed the big name refs in order from my favorite to least favorite, Miragliotta is the worst ref ever.

Absolutely correct! I always said they should clone Yves and fire all the other refs.

1. Yves Lavigne

2. Herb Dean - hes been pretty good lately
3. BJM - good ref but I don't like how sometimes he acts like he's better than the fighters.
4. Mazzagatti - lately slipping but at least theres a clear winner/loser
5. Yamasaki - inconsistant
6. Cecil Peoples - Bad Ref, worse judge
7. Miragliotta - This guy is just a supreme fuck up. Take anybody off the street, spend a day teaching that person the rules of MMA and they will do a better job than Dan, Yes I said anybody! This guy should have been fired years ago!

how about Kimo Vs Gracie when he was screaming at Kimo's cornerman(may have been Joe Son, can't remember) to get away from the cage but not a damn word at Royce's cornerman(think it was Helio) who was literally on the Octagon shouting instructions at him, pretty blatantly biased, I never really liked Big John after that.

I'm not a big fan of BJM either, I started to like him a little more though after watching him on the Fight Network right after he left the UFC.

I didn't like the way he talked up Kimbo after he left the UFC either, also when he just reffed the UFC he said that Anderson Was the best P4P fighter of all time and then after he left flip flopped and claimed Fedor as the best.

Kimbo, what a joke that was. I hear he wanted to fight Joe Riggs until he learned that Joe knows how to fight, then he wanted nothing to do with it. Also I hear he doesn't want a rematch with Seth either. Man did Elite XC fuck that whole thing up.


I don't like P4P rankings. Its just someone's opinion and hard to prove.
