Former referee John McCarthy has officially unretired and re-entered the reffing pool.

We'll know whether UFC is favorable if he starts getting main event assignments on UFC cards again.

The timing is notable, as he was the only referee that would stop action and give serious warnings on outstretched fingers. If UFC wants to pressure refs to start taking points, Big John is a ref that will follow through.

Merab is either a statistical outlier or a exceptionally smart PED user, maybe even both. Bro went and did sparring rounds before his last fight and still had a bigger gas tank than his opponent. Fucking wild.
