The following article was written by  Kevin Iole  and was originally published by official  MMAWeekly.com  content partner  Yahoo! Sports  in its  Cagewriter blog . Mixed martial arts fans collectively cheered on Saturday when UFC president Dana White yanked Howard Hughes as a judge after he was unhappy with Hughes’ work in the first two bouts at a fight card Saturday in Macau, China. SEE ALSO:  UFC Removed One of the Judges at UFC Fight Night 48 in Macao This, though, was a decision that should have been booed, and loudly, even if one believes that Hughes clearly blew both of the first two bouts. The UFC self regulates in jurisdictions that have no athletic commission or governing body, such as Macau. In those cases, the UFC generally appoints Marc Ratner, its vice president for regulatory affairs and, notably, the highly respected former executive director of the Nevada Athletic Commission, to run such shows.
