Mazzagatti 1 - Team Lesnar 0

Seems that Brock Lesnar lawyered up and sent some attorneys to a regularly scheduled Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) to make a request.

In Lesnar's first UFC bout against former UFC heavyweight champ Frank Mir, Lesnar was pounding on Mir, including punches to the back of Mir's head. During the match, referee Steve Mazzagatti deducted a point from Lesnar for blows to the back of the head after warning him.

Seems Lesnar had his legal team request that NSAC remove Mazzagatti from eligibility to ref Lesnar's upcoming fight with Randy Couture. Commissioner Keith Kizer said...Uh Uh.

Mario Yamasaki was awarded the fight, but not because the request was made.

What's up with ex-street fighters and ex-pro wrestlers thinking they can have the game manipulated for them? Brock Lesnar's MMA future is bright, and he very may well come out with a win against Couture.

But focusing on a referee before a fight is bad sign that he is concentrating on the wrong things.

Randy Couture is no Heath Herring.
