I was rewatching the UFN on Spike last night and this fight came on. I didn't remember much about it at all so it was like watching it all over again. Anyway, Quarry knocks Sell down (and out, somewhat) and the ref jumps in to stop the fight.

On the replay, guess who the ref was? Cecil Peoples?!?! Are you serious? He was standing behind Quarry when Sell went down, and he couldn't possibly have seen if Pete was out or not, yet jumped in to stop it. I'm always in favour of the ref's decision (Quarry was getting booed like crazy, UFC fans were fickle back in the day) but man, between his terrible judging and this bad call, I just don't know what to think of him anymore.

Rogan thought there could be a case for the fight being stopped, I totally agree. I really didn't know Cecil was a ref back in the day. (back in the day is relative I guess, but this was an older fight if memory serves me right)

Did anyone catch the replay last night? I didn't finish watching the rest of the card, had to work early.
