I don't know what can be done about having piss poor officials, but something must be done. There is no reason why that Houston Alexander- Rameau Sokodjou fight should have lasted that much longer due to the amount of damage Rameau was taking. There needs to be a nationwide exam all MMA officials must take in order to be shown to be fully competent. One could have even made an argument for stopping the fight in the first round due to the amount of damage that Houston took in the first round. When UFC Fight Night 22 finishes up tomorrow night, that will be 4 major MMA events in Texas within only a month. We aren't exactly helping our cause with bad officiating in Strikeforce: Houston and last Saturday with Shark Fights. We need better officials in Texas. I am hoping that tomorrow's UFC Fight Night goes off without a hitch and that there won't be any bad officiating. What was with the official that stood Masvidal and Daley up after Daley basically laid there and begged for a stand up. You can't as an official let the fighters sway your decision making, what he should of done was say,"Find a way back up."
Shark Fights did have solid fights on the main card and I thought they were all exciting. How about the commentary team with Bas Rutten and Don Frye? They were awesome I thought, not very politically correct, but I like that. They need to keep those two together for the next Shark Fights, to do otherwise would be a big mistake.
Happy Hunting
