haha, mazagatti ran over to stop, than he wasn’t sure if doerkson was out, so macdonald hit him some more to let mazagatti know he was actually out.

bad reffing once again.

Some of the best BJJ I’ve seen. If he had sunk in the figure-4 I would have flown to winnipeg and shook his hand. Really a shame that he didn’t submit MacDonald — He really could have sunk in that kimura, but like kenny florian said (and when kenny florian says anything regarding BJJ, he’s right) he should have squeezed his leg and finished that kimura.

Great win by MacDonald, and respectable loss and good show by Doerksen.

Good fight with great grappling.

But damn Mazagatti is becoming the Richard Steele of MMA. Let’s fire him and get Big John back.

If you are going to stop the fight… STOP THE FUCKING FIGHT.

It looked more like MacDonald taking sime cheap shots after Mazagatti stepped in. Well he is “the athlete” and not “the sportsman”. Good thing he pointed out he’s got a “huge fanbase in the UFC” cuz he sure didn’t win any fans with that display. Great match up til that point.

wth? Yea Mazagatti should have gotten right in there but MacDonald knew it was over and went back to hitting. Good fight by both of them though.

I like both of these guys…great fight by both…some bad blood and I didn’t like JMAC posturing at the end but oh well…El Dirte fought a good fight and should be proud…

Why don’t you guys search around and find out WHY Steve let that match go on for a few more shots. You DOuche bags are alwyas bitchz’ing and need to get informed before you make a stupid call on Steves be-half..Look around on the net first..

Big John is a commentator for the Fight Network, him Randy Couture and Mauro Ranallo did a pre and post fight show.

The reason Big John isn’t reffing anymore is because it pays little to nothing. And no Dana isn’t cheap, the UFC doesn’t pay the refs the Athletic commissions are the ones in charge of that. From what I remember reading I think refs get maybe $1000 for a UFC card if that even…

JEF KO Says, in 4-22-2008 at 15:41:42 from 99.236.249.147    

WOW this was a good fight to watch. I read reports that Macdonald handled Doerkensen and I thought I was about to watch and ass kicking after Macdonald had a gulotine sunk in for the first 1:30. Hell I would be tired too if I was being choked that long, but joe really pulled through and I would argue and say he one that round. Then the second round came lol….. different story.
P.S. steve mazzagotti is wack, I don’t know where big John is but it has been brutal seeing the many mazzagotti fights of late.

those really were some good transitions in the first round. it did look like some extra cheap shots after the stoppage though.

so funny how mazagatti really is becoming the most hated man in mma. i’m now looking forward to comment threads just to see the latest mazagatti trashings. xD

Jason Says, in 4-22-2008 at 18:33:00 from 141.157.175.40    

Big John retired.

I’ve never liked or disliked Mazagatti (sp?) but his performance here didn’t help. As near as I can tell he tried to stop the fight but did so by basically getting really close. MacDonald seemed to be unsure if the ref stopped the fight and just kept going (as he should have).

But there should never be any doubt in a fighter’s mind that the match has been stopped. And if that first “attempt” wasn’t a stop attempt, what the hell was it?

Steve Mazzagati is quickly becoming the worst ref in ufc

GREENMACHINE Says, in 4-22-2008 at 18:58:44 from 24.136.43.225    

Again, ahole Mazzagatti! This guy should not be referee of the most pretigious MMA venue, or any for that matter. I can’t believe they haven’t fired his ass.

Nice win by McDonald, impressive.

You idiots bashing Mazzagati when McDonald clearly knew he was out. He was standing over him after taunting afterwards.

Think about it. If anyone wanted to keep punching, they can. The refs can’t really stop them.

BakaSurvivor Says, in 4-22-2008 at 23:55:20 from 99.232.27.37    

It’s better if a fight is stopped a bit late rather than too early like in the GSP fight. Macdonald won a tough fight decisively. Nice to see him back in the win column.

mazagatti is the worst mma ref.

Landowner Says, in 4-23-2008 at 11:53:05 from 66.255.43.246    

At first I thought Mac was hitting late but if you watch again you see Mazzagatti get close but then pull back before he stops it. After 3 more hits he actually stops it.
Mazzagatti is still better than Herb Dean.

whitey Says, in 4-23-2008 at 12:42:50 from 66.57.37.221    

There is a fine line in stopping these fights at the exact right time, and you will rarely if ever land perfectly on the line. The fact is, the ref prevented serious, permanent bodily injury… and that is what the ref is for. Great stoppage, great fight… great job ref.

If he wouldn’t have made sure he was out you would’ve complained about an early stoppage! When you step into the ring you run the risk of bones breaking or of taking a shot or two while you are out but before the ref stops it. That is the risk, that is the game… so quit whining you bunch of panzees.

Crusher Says, in 4-23-2008 at 14:47:07 from 76.247.120.101    

Mazzagatti was clearly not decisive in his first stoppage. I don’t blame McDonald. Get in there and stop the damn fight or stay out of the way. This middle of the road half hearted bull crap can get a fighter needlessly hurt.

Big John never had these issues, and Mazzagotti just keeps screwing up.

I don’t know what some of you guys are talking about. This was an amazing fight and the ref stopped it at the perfect moment. Doerksen was completely knocked out. Ref didn’t stop it early. Great fight!!! Good canadian boys put on the best show as usual !

what the hell is mazagatti doin?
how is he gettin all these fights?
after all of the controversy why does the ufc keep hiring him?
especially the for the main events.
if i was in charge of that stuff, i would only let big john ref the main events.

I sure Mazagatti reads some of the stuff that’s being said about him regarding early stoppages. I think that made him second guess himself about stopping the fight. His half ass attempt to stop the fight confused Ronald Mac Donald so he let a few more go just to make sure. If you watch the fight Mazagatti didn’t really get in between the fighters, and just knelt beside them with his arm waving in the air. To stop fights you have to get in between the fighters and or push the opposing fighter off. So Mickey Dee had no choice but keep going.

Oh yeah, was I the only one wincing during the kimura attempt? I swear to God I felt my shoulder poping out of its socket during that.

JOHNNY MAC Says, in 4-25-2008 at 14:58:42 from 199.126.237.64    

In a Sherdog interview, Jason says that Steve apologized on the bus the next day. Steve said it was his fault and took reponsibility. He was going to stop but wasn’t decisive enough because he was not sure el dirte was out. Maconald hit him a few more times to prove he was out. Steve then stopped it.

why are u guys talkign shit about mcdonald. a fighter is supposed to fight his hardest until the ref steps in. macdonald saw that mazzagati came over but when he realized he wasnt going to stop the fight he hit doerkson with a couple more. blame the ref, not macdonald

MMA Freak Says, in 4-26-2008 at 21:54:43 from 71.63.196.105    

Mazzagati really does suck. He stops every fight at the wrong time. From interrupting the Lesnar fight to the various early stoppages and everything in between…he should be the one calling it quits.

MMA GIANT SILVA Says, in 4-28-2008 at 02:07:07 from 12.219.215.181    

Mazzagati is one of 3 ref’s you guys know. Therefore he should be fired right?
