Big John McCarthy to make 2009 return to the UFC???
Considered the best in the business for year's, former referee "Big" John McCarthy is set to make a sensational return to officiating after quitting is role at Fight Network.
Speaking in his final blog, McCarthy slams his previous employers, saying:
“A few people have said that I have attacked the UFC. That is simply not true. I have never said anything bad about the UFC. I spent 14 years of my life trying to build up the UFC and make people understand how incredible the fighters of MMA were. I considered myself very lucky in the fact that I was able to be around the UFC for as long as I was, and you never know maybe I will go back to refereeing and someday work another UFC.”
After working for UFC rivals, Affliction, at their first event, it is unclear how happy UFC President, Dana White would be with a return to the octagon for McCarthy. That said, it is not the UFC that chooses its official’s as we all know, is down to the athletic commissions.
