MMA News Forums - View Single Post - Yves Lavigne Remains Unbiased: Josh Koscheck Statements Were False

I doubt Yves or any other referee who has been in the business that long would be stupid enough to comment that candidly about any fight or fighter.

But, Koscheck did bitch about the 2 former UFC ring girls before they were fired. Yves on the other hand can't get fired because he is hired/picked by the commission. Even with the commission picking the referees, if the UFC does take this seriously, then I doubt we will see Yves ref in Nevada first (where the UFC has the most pull, and their current Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Marc Ratner was with the commission for more than 20 years)

So, if you don't see Yves reffing in Nevada at any UFC event in the next couple months, then I would expect that he really is in the dog house and the UFC is taking the allegations seriously (which they shouldn't)
