Brandon Veras Words " That Ref Sucks"

Just watched post fight vid on UFC. In his own words he said "The Ref Sucks." Gotta agree wasnt the best decision. Looks bit bad for Dan.


Anybody else notice how UFC was showing more doctors speaking in the ring? Was only bad decision i thought the rest of the night was great.

I understand there is bias, because Miragliotta did do a pretty horrible job at EXC, but at this event he did a fine job and just take a look at this one more time. If Vera didn't want this to be stopped he shouldn't have went to this position and rolled away while not even defending himself.

This isn't intelligent defense nor was it that brief. It went on for several seconds and the reason that people are complaining is most likely a combination of being sore at Dan Miragliotta for being a bad ref at EXC CBS and Vera's complaining afterwards influencing viewer perception.

Karo did the same thing and it was blatantly obvious upon rewatching that that it looks more legit after each view and that his complaining was influencing fan perception.

Dan needed to be suspended after the kimbo fight.

Hell Thompson had kimbo in a crucifix and Dan was telling Thompson he would stand them up.

The guy definitly took a payout or something like that.

20 sec left. Maybe a bit early but it was just a matter of time since Vera was stuck in the mount and couldn't do anything.

If the commissions and Gary Shaw and the UFC not so in bed with whats left of the "Mob" then he may be fired.

Don't count on it though.

He may be in the ring with Fedor and Tim, you never know....

Thanks Vera, because you can't handle a lost:

-Made the ref look bad (again)
-Made the crowd have NO respect for Werdum

If you listen to the audio, Mirgliotta was screaming at Vera "You can't say OK! You can't say OK!"
