Brock Lesnar's camp requested UFC referee Steve Mazzagatti be removed from consideration for his Nov. 15 fight with Randy Couture. Mazzagatti was the referee for Brock's fight with Frank Mir, and Lesnar's camp feels that he wrongfully stood up the fighters, which opened the door for Mir to apply the submission hold he won the fight with.

Powell's POV: Weak, Brock. I wasn't a big fan of Mazzagatti's decision in that case because I've seen plenty of referees issue warnings and let the fight continue, but I don't think it warrants a formal request with the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
