THINK ABOUT IT Good Point... However I'm concerned about the quality of the refs officiating smaller shows. I have been to sanctioned events where I know for a fact the ref wasnt an MMA fighter but was good athlete and friends with the promoter. The persons officiating smaller shows should be properly trained and recieve certification before being allowed to ref any bout. Raze

Sometimes if you have wierd shit like that, injuries can take rougher tolls on your body. Im sure all the MMA haters will love to play off of this one.
