they could've made out before and after the fight for all that I care, as long as Guida wasn't winning.

Yeah, Maynard is a BEAST. I've ALWAYS been a fan. Just seemed weird to me. I wouldn't be surprised if something gets said about it.

Mirgliotta probably blew his load all over Gray's tramp stamp before the fight.

herb dean took 2 points from Bruce leeroy for an accidental nut shot...2 or 3 points for stalling isn't a big deal to me

I didn't see anything wrong with the fist pounding. Just because a guy is reffing a match doesn't mean he can't be friendly. I bet if Guida would have won you would have seen the same thing. I see the ref congratulating the winner after every fight. No big deal to me.

How many times did Guida poke Gray in the eye?

Not sure how long the OP has been watching MMA, don't mean that as an insult, but this is one of many, MANY times that I've seen a ref giving props to a fighter or congratulating them on their win. Hell even Bruce Buffer bumps fighter's fists sometimes while he's introducing them.

I'm sure Dan felt Gray's frustrating during that fight as well, probably had something to say bout it.
Definitely don't see anything weird about it.

It was more friendly then just a fist pound. I agree refs congrat fighters all the time. What happened wasn't just a fist pound. Mirgliotta made it a point to stop Gray when he came in the cage and shook his hand. Then after the fight was over, he seeked out maynard to give him a hug/handshake. It was out of line. A ref is supposed to be COMPLETELY impartial.
