5 Crazy Rants From UFC's Dana White
3. Steve Mazzagatti’s Bad Refereeing
Dana has never been shy when talking about poor referee decisions. After all, one bad mistake by a referee can cost a fighter a win, loss and sometimes even shorten careers.
There is one ref that Dana seems to despise more than others and that’s Steve Mazzagatti. This particular rant sees White go off on Mazzagatti after a mistake he made in a completely different organisation.
During a media scrum he said : "Does anyone disagree with me that Mazzagatti's a f*cking toolbox? I mean he literally did nothing”. He goes onto say "The Nevada State Athletic Commission is going to keep this f*cking guy around until he seriously hurt somebody. That guy is dangerous. He's dangerous”.
Unfortunately for the boss, referees are actually employed by state athletic commissions meaning he can’t get rid of Mazzagatti even if he hates him.
