Another UFC ref, Yamasaki, is on White’s bad side
It's been a rough year for many of the referees working UFC fights. UFC president Dana White unloaded on the officials after a rough go at UFC 96 in Columbus. There was a horrendous stoppage to start the night and then Yves Lavigne nearly let Matt Brown beat Pete Sell unconscious. White said there are only two or three good MMA refs in the entire country. He mentioned Mario Yamasaki as one of the guys he does like. You may want to scratch that after a little exchange during White UFC 97 vlog (0:57 mark).
White was referencing Yamasaki's work during B.J. Penn-Georges St. Pierre III. Okay, it was only a video game battle between White and the real GSP, but Yamasaki's gaffe did lead to a victory by the fake GSP with a sweet spinning backfist.
