It was awesome to see Diaz beat Shamrock. Frank thinks he’s better that what he actually is. I know Diaz talks a lot of crap, but he’s still a good fighter and i just plain in simple don’t like Frank Shamrock.

On the contrary i’ve always thought diaz’s boxing is kool dude. He’s shown great boxing in the lawlor, gomi and shamrock fights.

I’m happy nick diaz won. I don’t like the shamrocks

Fighters can only petition to not have certain refs involved in their respective matches ie Brock not wanting the Maz to ref the rematch with Muur, its not as tho they get to ask for specific refs………

Technically the promotion can’t pick and choose refs, but the fighters can.

Well, I have to officially eat my own words. I really thought Diaz was going to be the sacrificial lamb to Shamrock’s comeback after his surgery. I have NEVER been impress with Diaz’s boxing, despite what MMAWeekly has said, and probably others. His weird unorthodox style is often design to throw a lot of punches, but do no real damage, and often times he leaves his chin facing sky high, but last night he was seriously frustrating Shamrock to no end. Shamrock has outboxed Phil Baroni (who is a slugger, I know, but it still says something) and really looked pretty good in the stand-up against Cung Lee before the arm breaking. Diaz went in there and fought a great fight. Hate his attitude, but he got it done.

Scott Smith REALLY needs to work on head movement. I just don’t understand how he can have this many fights and train with really good boxers at Xtreme Couture and still come out so stiff. He does have a great chin and powerful punching but man he really needs to change levels more often.

Cyborg scares me. Yes I also think she was fed a fairly easy win, but she weight in at the same weight I use to fight at!!! (155) Scary woman.

It was a very enjoyable production. The Cyborg fight did look a little questionable given the weight difference. Props to Damm for taking the fight on short notice. Nice to see Nick win and prove he is a sportsman…

I know the athletic commissions send their own refs to mma events, but can the UFC or Strikeforce request certain refs and exclude others?
