Last night I am watching Strikeforce challengers on Showtime. There was a women's fight on the card, Ronda Rousey vs. Sarah D'Alelio. Steve Mazzagatti is the referee. In the first round Rousey catches D'Alelio in an armbar, it is in deep, she was in trouble. So Rousey yells to the ref she tapped out or something to that affect, and instead of deciding for himself, Mazzagatti listens to Rousey and stops the fight. Well after about a dozen replays it is obvious she did not tap nor yell tap like he started to say afterwards. I'm starting to see why BrocK Lesnar said he wanted to punch Mazzagatti's stupid mustache off his face. You don't listen to the fighter, you are the referee, you are in charge.
