Brock Lesnar Requests Steve Mazzagatti Not Ref UFC 91 Fight

[MTG]

Brock Lesnars lawyers had made a request to the NSAC to have referee Steve Mazzagatti removed from the list of potential referees that would oversee Lesnar's UFC 91 title fight against Randy Couture.

Citing Mazzagatti’s officiating in Lesnar’s UFC debut against Frank Mir in February, attorneys David Olsen and Brian Stegeman made their aversion to the referee’s presence known at a regularly scheduled NSAC meeting. The attorneys claimed Mazzagatti was “involved in what we believe was a controversial ruling in connection with the Mir-Lesnar fight.†They asked that Mazzagatti be removed from consideration for the UFC 91 main event to avoid “distraction†and “any further controversy.â€

Alot of people are gonna start ripping on lesnar. But remember he's just making a request. He's not saying he wont fight if mazagatti does ref.

lets hope that this wont affect the focus of Lesnar if that ref was the one chosen in his fight.
