On the subject of judging/refereeing, Big John McCarthy did a great podcast with Joey Diaz where he covered a bunch of topics you'd expect a referee to cover. The podcast was 3 months ago but was recently uploaded to youtube, so:

When to stop a fight: 8m24s
Explains how Jackson/Winkeljohn influence judge scoring in a fight: 35m35s
Process for becoming a judge: 52m18s
Stopping a fight without assigning blame on a judge: 1h13m44s (him doing it I guess: Tank Abbott vs Cabbage, 4m22s)

Lots of other gold in this podcast.

Very cool, ty

Do the gyms get payed a percentage if the fighter they're training wins? I'm not sure how that works.

all 3 hughes fights
Both serra fights
Both bj penn fights
Vs. Jon fitch
Vs. Carlos Condit

Those are the best imo

Note that a lot of gsp fights are absolute blowouts. Still love watching them though because you get to see a real master at work.

Cool ty. Why was he so successful?

Do any good MMA rankings exist? Right now I only use the UFC ones.

Would the UFC ever get rid of doing the weigh-in shows? They seem silly and antiquated, from the stepping on the fake scale in your Nikes and big cowboy hat to doing a pin-up fighting pose with Dana White in the middle afterwards.
