He's been a one-man wrecking crew the last four cards. Well not really, but Dana White has been "wrecking" referee Steve Mazzagatti. Each of the last four cards, White has flipped out on Twitter sending out requests for fans to email complaint to Keith Kizer, the executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. His war against Mazzagatti and Kizer has almost laughable. And for at least one of them, or all three it's got to be getting personal.
White said he's not to stop calling out bad officiating until things change. With Mazzagatti, he thinks the longtime referee is getting more indecisive and that it's putting fighter in harm's way. You have to wonder if White constant attack is a contributing factor if indeed "The Stache" is losing it. On the flips, is there a possibility Kizer is taking all this personally and is losing his objectivity in rating Mazzagatti.
Is that also a contributing factor why Nevada and Kizer told veteran referee John McCarthy, they weren't adding different referees to the roster? White did point out that guys like Herb Dean are doing a great job.
