Burt Watson is jokingly called “babysitter to the stars” because he’s generally responsible for each and every UFC fighter’s well-being when they show up to fight.
He was the one who broke things up when a group of knuckleheads went after Phil Baroni, Kevin Randleman and Mark Coleman in a bar at one of the first events under the promotion’s new ownership.
But sometimes, the relationship works the other way around. Sometimes, the fighters have his back.
