Quoteworthy:
“Just before the main event, some wacko at Bell Centre decided to jump the barrier go after the 6-5, 270-pound (?) Miragliotta. In a split second, the jackass was on the ground and Miragliotta had his back. He cinched in a rear naked choke!!!!! Had the Bell Centre security not stepped in, I think Miragliotta would’ve put the kid to sleep or better yet, broken his neck. I couldn’t get the choke in a photo but I got the aftermath with a very fired up Miragliotta getting up off the floor.”
For those who missed UFC 83: “Serra vs. St. Pierre 2,” referee Dan Miragliotta is an absolutely massive human being. The person who accosted him has to be an absolute fool. At least he paid for it.

I would like to see the refs fight in some exhibition fights. Herb Dean fights, or used to, he is on youtube knocking some fool out
that is some fuuny shit..
Mania’ I know Herb Dean compete’s in MMa..Are there any other offical’s that fight?? and also, do you know if Dan Miragliotta trains JJ? or was it just how they landed, and he grabbed a hold of the dumbass?
pwned
I wonder what that guy was thinking right before he decided to attack a 6ft5in, probable martial artist?”This is the smartest idea I’ve ever had or ever will have!”
“I”M gonna kick this guy’s butt so bad…(choke!!)”
Now that’s funny. I remember seeing a security guard getting manhandled at one point, then Big Dan was by the fighter’s side the next time.
the idiot was probably pissed at the result of the fight the ref was a part of, not sure cant remember which fight this huge dude was calling
Awsome! those Canadians are wild and crazy. LOL!!!!!
Or should i say those Canadians are wild and crazy ay. LOL;B
it’s not Ay….it’s Eh
That was such a fluke. Random Canadian fan will get him next time just like GSP got Serra.
hahahahahaha!!!! dude that was funny!!!!
put big john and big dan in the octagon!! make it happen dana!!
he cant fight when he was 15 he broke his neck its bad enough he gets so fucked up when he reffs but other then that we dont like to watch him get to bad
his my uncle btw <33
Lol..No Way dude!!No fluke the Canadian is weak-hearted, and is scared to get KO’d..Dan Miragliotta shocked the world..He is the champ, and the fan is just interim status..You think the rematch would be different?…..
Your crazy…LOL..j/k
funny stuff Jason..
Random Canadian fan has such good takedown defense though, I hear he wrestles with the Canadian national wrestling team
Hey guys, Steve Mazzagatti spent about 8 years studying Hung Gar, Choy Lay Fut and Wing Chun, Gung fu. He did a little boxing and Muay Thai along the way too as a practitioner and trainer. Mikey G
Miragliotta is a martial artist. A couple of years ago, he visisted Sweden and taught flying heel hooks in the Pancrase gym in Stockholm. That’s all I know, though.
no he never went to sweden hes my fucking uncle for christ sakes he does have a martial arts studio well he did but yea hes my uncle my moms brother
6 foot 5 270 pound flying heel hook instructor??
guys with tribal tattoos are either dbags or fighters. Either way they have bad taste and make bad decisions(like getting tribal tattoos).
haha I find this true more often than not…except in some cases they are “dbags & fighters” good stuff
Or getting punched in the face for a living. Either way… bad idea for an opponent.
there were supposedly a lot of fights in the stands during the event and on the streets after it was over.
Crazy Canadians. They should be nice and peaceful like Kaleb Starnes.
Ha ha, Quarry looked like the Terminator & Starnes was the Running Man.
I did notice Big Dan Miragliotta walking out behind GSP during the main event. INTERESTING. In the past, they usuall have a handful of 70 year old men work as security guards walking next to the fighters as they make their way to the octagon. It would always make me laugh. Like Mr. Wrinkly Face Grandpa can do a better job protecting Chuck Liddell than Chuck can defending himself?
LOL, now maybe we will see every security guard in the UFC be under 70 years old and over 5′6″.
definitely looks like a guy you want to mess with!
Miragliotta looks just like a white Houston Alexander.
Dan would stop Big John!
Wait, you’re kidding me! Anderson Silva got choked out?
Dude must have been on serious drugs. Dan is freakin’ huge.
hes never been on a single sterioid i swear to god hes my uncle he never even experimented
Big Dan?
I can just imagine the guy trying to mutter “Tap Tap Tap” in French…
crazy Canadians
lmao, that is awesome! I wish there was a video of this. I swear, if I were a BJJ black belt I’d just go to bars and if some knucklehead was acting a fool I’d take his back like THAT and tap that fool out! it’d be sweet.
I’ve always thought it’d be cool to see Chuck in a bar fight just knocking kids out left and right as they come at him..
Dan trained martial arts since teenager and bjj since first ufc.
