I think @haven was trying to say that Lesnar has been cut in some of his fights and that he might lose by tko because of a cut.

"lesnr fight with all of them was blood he has cut and leg lock and other fight was cut"

Here Haven was describing that the only loses Lesnar has are the leg lock and the tko to Cain

"so if he stop the with blood lesner will won the fight"

If Lesnar doesn't get cut he will win the fight

Agree 100% with Gregory, Mario Yamasaki is crap. Yes, he's worse than Mazzagatti. At least Mazzagatti's got those cool dives going on.

In the GIF above, Yamasaki would try to stick his hand in front of Garza. Mazzagatti was awesome right there and is all in all a better referee than Yamasaki.

@gregory pretty sure my 5 yr old daughter would have known to stop that fight, not really any type of justification for Mazzagatti. When anyone in the UFC or journalists talk about bad refs, it's always Mazzagatti, not Yamasaki.

@messiah it's not IF to stop the fight, it's HOW to stop the fight. Mazzagatti took control of the situation and ended it, putting his own body in harms way.

As for talk about bad referees, it's Dana White who repeatedly is on Mazzagatti's case. It's not anyone in the UFC or journalists.

I'm not saying Mazzagatti is the best, but he isn't the worst.

@Gregory No, if Yamasaki was reffing that fight he'd stand, wave a hand, put his hand down, think about it, wait for Paixao's brain to bleed out of his ear, and then stop the fight.

I didn't like that Yamasaki call.

In fact, on the very same card he was reffing Oliveira vs Edwards and Oliveira was just getting plastered and Yamasaki did absolutely nothing.
