As far as weekends go, Texas probably has had better – at least in terms of MMA. But at the big UFC show in San Antonio on Saturday, as well as at Fury FC 76 the night before, there were issues with judging and refereeing that had the MMA community raising its collective eyebrow the way of Texas and its athletic commission. It’s not like the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation had a sterling reputation and Friday-Saturday was just a bump in the road. To paraphrase Stinger in the first “Top Gun”: “ Let’s not bullsh*t, Texas. Your commission name ain’t the best in MMA .” At Fury FC 76, referee Frank Collazo failed to see Edgar Chairez had choked Gianni Di Chiara Vazquez unconscious in the fourth round. Even though the broadcast team practically was screaming for him to stop the fight, he didn’t shut things down until Vazquez woke up from the choke and tapped to an armbar.
