Full Article: http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles/ti ... rees-18133 Until recently, UFC President Dana White had done an admirable job of observing the unwritten rule that someone in his position is not supposed to criticize referees and judges. After allowing Mustapha al Turk to take a sadistic beating from Cheick Kongo at UFC 92, referee Steve Mazzagatti was in the crosshairs of fans the world over for his consistently inconsistent work. All the notoriously venomous White could say was, “He’s a nice guy, but he’s not a referee.” Hardly the work you’d expect from a guy known to flesh out his vocabulary with George Carlin’s seven words you can’t say on television. Yet the reaction showed that White knows full well that, for all his power, he can hardly afford getting under the skin of the sanctioning bodies responsible for appointing judges and referees. It’s an understandably difficult situation, but we’ve reached a tipping point as the level of incompetence displayed by both judges and referees now goes far beyond what we should expect or tolerate. |

Some of the under-card fighters are only getting like $2000-$5000 for a fight. |

I can live for 5 months with 5000 bucks, but yeah off course it isnt good with too much beating and it can lead to injuries wich in its place would suck! |
