Steve Mazzagatti and Cecil Peoples join UFC 143 cast and crew on Feb. 4 in Las Vegas

U Mazz?

Veteran mixed martial arts (MMA) referee Steve Mazzagatti has been asked to step up and officiate the UFC 143 main event fight between Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit, set to go down on Feb. 4, 2012, from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Joining him will be the oft-maligned Cecil Peoples, who will assume the position of judge alongside Patricia Morse-Jarman and Junichiro Kamijo.

Sherdog compiled some recent stats:

Mazzagatti has refereed more than 250 fights in the UFC, Strikeforce, WEC and EliteXC, according to FightMetric.com. Most recently, he oversaw the Robbie Lawler-Adlan Amagov and Tarec Saffiedine-Tyler Stinson bouts at Strikeforce "Rockhold vs. Jardine" on Jan. 7.

Peoples, who judged 19 events in 2011, last worked the Strikeforce "Melendez vs. Masvidal" card on Dec. 17, producing a 50-45 scorecard in favor of Melendez in the main event as well as a 29-28 card for K.J. Noons over Billy Evangelista in a lightweight affair.

Anyone rolling their eyes at the addition of MMA's dynamic duo? Or is all well that ends well?

Very funny gif.

LOL, couldn’t stop laughing after watching that GIF. Mazzagatti clearly knows a thing or two about ground control.

Shit.

Gotta change my bet to Garcia 30-27 for this 5 rounder.

You mind your own damn business.

No you don't ~Pere

Credible P4P Rankings.
#1: Silva (destroys top fighters making them look like they don't belong and has done it for years)
#2: Jones (destroys everybody including top guys)
#3: GSP (long time champ but can't stop people that others can who aren't blown up LWs which isn't so dominating compared to #1 and #2... hence P4P)

Thats how you tackle

Mazzagatti really should look into trying out for a pass rushing position with the Jets or something. He nailed the hit perfectly.

Uh

No pic where I can see a ball sac, thanks

brock lesnar disagrees with you!

As do I.. we’ve seen Mazz make some inexplicable calls. Like standing guys up as they’re working for submissions? Or on the same card watching a 15 min wrasslefucking with no intervention? When he’s good he’s good, but there’s almost no consistancy in his calls. Imo..
But yeh Cecil is a shit stain!

Slow but...

Not as slow to stop as Herb Dean in the Rockholdt-Jardine fight. If Jardine’s brains weren’t scrambled before they sure as hell are now. He went out multiple times.
