Big John McCarthy


Recommended Posts

I've been following this story for the last few days to see if there is any truth to it. After tonights main event at TUF finals Big John will retire. This is yet another changing of the guard in the world of mma. For those of you who would like to check out an interview with him in which he explains his reason for retirement. Go to mmaweekly.com they have the entire stories.

All I can say is fair well Big John your the best ref in mma.

Yeh, i was following too- but he has a lot on his plate, teaching self-defense to LAPD, and running his own gym.

Wow, that really is too bad. He has been there for so much of the history of modern MMA, and has seen the evolution of the style first-hand.

Hate to see him go. Good luck to the big guy. :karate:

Yeh, but he's not leaving the community, just this one position (the more visible, yes, but not necessarily the most important)

Ah. I see then. Doing work behind the scenes more will probably keep him very involved, then.

I would love to be able to check out his gym.

I've not seen anything but he is working on a scoring system just for mma. I'm sure that in his scoring system take downs alone won't mean so much especially if you don't do anything with them or can control your opponant on the ground. Also I think he'll have something about looking at sub attempts and how busy the guy on the bottem is. Just things that the boxing scoring system can't take into consideration. His scoring ayatem could only be better than what's currently in use.
