    Default ref other sports

    Do you, or did either of you, ever ref or umpire any other sports?

    Hi, myself yes indeed. Kickboxing/K1 and sub grappling (FILA etc) My varied past in training, coaching and competing has allowed me too. I also think it imperative to have (at least) an understanding/appreciation, not everyone has or has to have competitive experince, of the facets that make up MMA.

    Thanks.
    if you think its easy stop now

    no one achieved anything by doing nothing

    never argue with a fool

    if fighting is a pursuit rooted in pain, you will find the best teachers have often absorbed the most punishment themselves......and remained standing
