Dan Miragliotta hasn’t yet sat down to watch the replay of this past
Saturday’s UFC 142 bout between Vitor Belfort and Anthony Johnson, but as the contest’s referee, he remembers it vividly in his mind.
And while Miragliotta has come under fire for what some MMA pundits
consider a series of “quick” restarts in action, the veteran referee
believes his calls were more than appropriate.
“If there’s two guys on the ground that aren’t doing anything … I give
them some time,” Miragliotta today told MMAjunkie.com. “I warn them, and then I’ll separate them.”
