Sets up for a UFC return...

http://www.thefightnetwork.com/blog/post/1594/goodbye_to_everyone


Well this is my farewell from the Fight Network. While I will not miss what has happened or transpired at the company, I am really going to miss some very special people that I have come to know and respect in my short time with them. .................................................. ...



A few people have said that I have attacked the UFC. That is simply not true. I have never said anything bad about the UFC. I spent 14 years of my life trying to build up the UFC and make people understand how incredible the fighters of MMA were. I considered myself very lucky in the fact that I was able to be around the UFC for as long as I was and you never know maybe I will go back to refereeing and someday work another UFC.

To all of the higher ups that have taken over the Fight Network over the last year I only have this to say.............. Shame on you..................

WOW,

Interesting stuff. I'm sure he'll be back. He's the best ref in the business. I'd expect him to be reffing again soon

He stopped but he never retired. Only been 10 months I think.

If you read his post (at least the least 2 paragraphs) it seems like he is really aiming for a red gig with the UFC
