🚨 DID THE REFEREE COST RENATO MOICANO THE FIGHT?! BIG JOHN McCARTHY BREAKS IT DOWN!

It's another McCARTHY MONDAY on the WEIGHING IN Podcast! Josh Thomson sits down with legendary MMA referee Big John McCarthy to discuss one of the most controversial officiating decisions we've seen recently.

At UFC Vegas 123, Renato Moicano had Tom Nolan's back in the second round when referee Dan Miragliotta suddenly stood the fighters back up. Moments later, Nolan turned the momentum, hurt Moicano, and eventually finished him in the third round.

Was this a legitimate referee intervention, or did Miragliotta make a major mistake that changed the course of the fight?

And Moicano certainly wasn't holding back afterward, telling the referee exactly what he thought of the decision!

🔥 ON THIS EPISODE OF McCARTHY MONDAY:

🥊 THE CONTROVERSIAL STAND-UP — Why did Dan Miragliotta restart the action while Moicano had Nolan's back?

⚖️ BIG JOHN'S REFEREE BREAKDOWN — Was the intervention justified under the rules? What should a referee be looking for in that position?

😳 DID THE REF CHANGE THE FIGHT? — Nolan took advantage of the reset and eventually scored the TKO. Would the outcome have been different without the stand-up?

🤬 MOICANO'S EXPLOSIVE RESPONSE — "I want him to go f*** himself!" What did Moicano say about Miragliotta, and why is he still taking responsibility for the loss?

🎯 REFEREE ACCOUNTABILITY — Should referees face more scrutiny when their decisions potentially change the momentum of a fight?

🔥 THE BIGGER MMA RULES DEBATE — When should a referee stand fighters up? How much inactivity is acceptable? Where should the line be drawn?
