the frenchman yves lavigne is sneakin under the radar as a the best ref these days, he makes mistakes sure, but very few over a long career of fights.
I'm not going to look through a bunch of fights for a specific example, but i've seen him miss strikes to the back of the head and simple stuff like that. I'm not saying it's a big deal, but they are mistakes nonetheless. He is still an amazing ref.
Pound for Pound best ref!

ufc sucks balls, they were paying Big John something like 1k per promotion or some bullshit like that.

That's not the same watching UFC without Big John's presence inside the octagon. He's the man.

herb deen, mazagati, yamasaki & the rest are shit, even lavigne who I thinks the best now mccarthys gone has fucked some decisions up.

John McCarthy is the best MMA referee ever hands down. I have not seen him make a bad call or mistake while being the referee.

I've seen him make mistakes, but everyone does, i think it's close between him and herb dean though

Hey Big John, from a mma fan since ufc 9, you're the best ref to ever do it, we miss you!

He's the only ref i can think of who has made some seriously questionable calls, the guy never screws up.
