I'm glad McCarthy started refereeing the events. The guy from the first event looked like a fish out of water. What was Jimmerson thinking by wearing one glove, though? He did end up taking it off.

So, Lorenzo made TUF. I hate these Dana-lovers who always say he single-handedly brought the sport to the mainstream.

It goes both ways. Some people claim Dana is the single force behind all evil in the world, both inside and outside of MMA.

I don't trust anything BJM says, certainly not about Dana White.

He's stated MANY times on the record that he thought it was a bad idea at the start. He credits Lorenzo with the idea and admits he was wrong.

Easy tiger. People do have lives outside of MMA. I know, hard to believe but it's true.
