Love to see it. Always nice to see retired fighters make a living after fighting.

but the spotlight will be on him for sure. imho

 

[Bubba Kid]

I'm sure I've also seen him ref some fights before. Hope to see more former fighters in these positions.

Cool beans

 

[MigitAs]

WAR Leben

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Frank Twinkle Toes Trigg will be reffing three fights

Moicono vs Dariush
Dawson vs Ferreira
Turcios vs Sopaj

so we get a double dose of UFC vets post fight career. Pretty cool.

Based on his fighting style and his piss poor shenanigans on the ultimate fighter, I really did not expect Chris Leben to become an MMA judge after retirement

Good to see Chris doing well.

Long overdue for another chat with Renato.

He started with regional stuff then became a professional ref/judge and did some Bellator bouts.

 

[CasualBot]

Are the other judges diego sanchez & josh koscheck?


(Congrats Cripples)

People say it was Luke Rockhold that ended The Chris's career but it was actually Renato, real ones know.

Me either , but it's rad to see him making better choices and doing something he can put his experience towards . I'm also hoping he beats up a few of the notoriously shitty judges in a way that doesn't jeopardize his current career path .

 

[Ares Black]

I was a big fan back in the day. I remember when his nickname was The Cat Smasher.


It's great to see him doing so well in life. I'm happy for him.

 

[Khaosan]

Back in the day I really thought he’d be one of those guys who would have been dead by now. Really glad to see him still in the gaming and doing well.

 

[Aurelian]

This is awesome.

He needs a buffer from Buffer.
