@gloom the ref is Kevin MacDonald.  He's very experienced and good, has reffed a gazillion fights in the Northeast.

When the UFC came to Boston, the Mass Athletic commission screwed him out of being a ref because of some kind of power trip by one of the commissioners. 

But he was able to get on UFC 128 in New Jersey and now a couple Bellator cards.  I think it's a good chance we see more and more of him.

@wolfman Don't feel bad. After 2 weeks of doing great on Bellator picks, it all went down the crapper tonight for me.

About 15 more people may have just unlocked the heavy upset award after that one.

*edit ... heavy, not huge... nobody has got huge upset yet

@Gregory
Do you know how many huge underdog won in UFC or MMA history?

And do you know who is the biggest underdog ever? Maybe against Fedor...

wake we don't have all the odds in the history of the sport, but this is the biggest upsets rankings from what we do have:

http://www.tapology.com/search/mma-betting-odds/oddsmaker-upsets-all

on the search tab you can slice it by promotion, year, and weight class.

@wake and the biggest underdog we have in our database is +1450 Mika Harigai against Rin Nakai at Sengoku.  Go figure.

http://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/bouts/sengoku-rin-nakai-vs-mika-hari-harigai

Note that there's no ranking of these that we have posted anywhere. I've never looked that up before.

-3300, this is crazy!

A 100$ bet would give 3.03$ of profit!

Thanks Gregory!  The search section is very nice, I didn't know about that.

Makovsky seems to be loosening up a bit now.....and he gets the takedown.
