Welcome to McCarthy Monday on Weighing In!
On this episode, Big John McCarthy and Josh Thomson use Big John’s decades of officiating experience to break down and educate fans on the biggest controversies coming out of UFC 328.
The guys discuss the criticism surrounding Khamzat Chimaev and the questions about his weight cut, the debate over whether Sean Strickland deserved the decision, and the controversial stoppage in Joshua Van vs Tatsuro Taira.
Big John explains how weigh-ins are regulated, what referees are looking for during stoppages, and how judges are instructed to score fights under the unified rules — giving fans a clearer understanding of why these decisions are made and whether the criticism is justified.
If you’ve ever questioned scorecards, referee stoppages, or commission decisions, this is the show for you.
