| The California State Athletic Commission have decided to assign top rated referee, “Big” John McCarthy to the WEC 46 show on January 10th in Sacramento, although not as a referee but as a judge instead.
This will be the first time McCarthy has been involved in a Zuffa show since he quit the game and criticised both the company and the commissions for various reasons in a new role at The Fight Network.
On top of that news McCarthy has also been assigned the lightweight title unification match between Josh Thomson and Gilbert Melendez this weekend at Strikeforce: Evolution.

| Big John knows his stuff. He'll make a good judge. I just hope he doesn't get assigned some of friends like Forrest. | |

They didn't deny him in the sense they said no way. They have the positions filled of refs licensed he's on the waiting list along with other people. | |

| You can not judge or ref a fight where you have a connection to the fighter but that didnt stop them for letting him ref every match in the old UFC days | |
