MMA referee Dan Miragliotta gets unofficial UFC 83 submission of the night

Props: Mr. Sunshine

Quoteworthy:

"Just before the main event, some wacko at Bell Centre decided to jump the barrier go after the 6-5, 270-pound (?) Miragliotta. In a split second, the jackass was on the ground and Miragliotta had his back. He cinched in a rear naked choke!!!!! Had the Bell Centre security not stepped in, I think Miragliotta would've put the kid to sleep or better yet, broken his neck. I couldn't get the choke in a photo but I got the aftermath with a very fired up Miragliotta getting up off the floor."

For those who missed UFC 83: "Serra vs. St. Pierre 2," referee Dan Miragliotta is an absolutely massive human being. The person who accosted him has to be an absolute fool. At least he paid for it.
