If UFC had there presidents wall like Mt. Rushmore, then BIG JOHN would be on it. He is one of the faces of the sport. Will be hard to watch "the big fights" without hearing "Are you ready, Are you ready....THEN LET'S GET IT ON!!! Will be missed Big John!

Yeah, I'd say that Steve Mazzagati will get the big fights..Herb Dean is a stiff..Mazz is a good one too..
