Debut of Big John? edit
The event marked the first appearance of referee "Big" John McCarthy, who would be a staple in the UFC until his retirement from the UFC in late 2007.
I removed the sentence above because I'm not sure it's true. I was just watching a UFC 1 recap show and could have swore I saw Big John referring a semi-final match. Shortly thereafter I saw this quote. I checked on IMDB and Big John is not listed in the credits for UFC 1 but I still believe he ref'ed a match. So until someone can 100% confirm it, I think it should be left out. Jason Quinn (talk) 01:39, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
- Although this interview by Big John seems to suggest I am wrong. Jason Quinn (talk) 01:42, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
- I reverted my edit for now. I would still like to see that UFC 1 match again but I guess I was mistaken who the ref was. If you've got the tape, take a gander to let me know. Jason Quinn (talk) 01:50, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
References edit
Made some minor changes and added around half a dozen references, trying to save this article from the MMA deletionists. Any other contributions would be helpful. Those that would like to see this article deleted should try to improve it first, if they expect to be given the benefit of the doubt and retain any appearance of showing good faith.AugustWest1980 (talk) 17:43, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
Errors in results edit
I fixed two errors after watching some of the fights on UFC Fight Pass, but I am noticing that they are also mixed up on Sherdog as well, which I thought was a decent source. Also, can someone else watch the Remco Pardoel vs. Alberta Cerra Leon fight and tell me what type of submission Pardoel uses? I am fairly positive it is not an armlock, but it is some type of choke that I am unclear of becasue of the way Pardoel's body blocks the choke from view. If you watch the replay, you can see him letting it go for a split second, it looks like rear naked choke from the top instead of the back. dj_ansi (talk) 07:37, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
