Big Country Nelson kicks referee Big John McCarthy after fight
Big Country Roy Nelson knocked out Antonio “Big Foot” Silva in the second round of their “UFC Fight Night” battle in Brazil on Saturday, and he ended up delivering an extra blow afterwards.
Nelson actually kicked official Big John McCarthy after winning the fight:
Nelson explained afterwards that he was upset McCarthy waited so long to stop the fight:
Nelson on Big John incident: When you KO someone, you know. It’s like a home run. Bigfoot is my friend. I don’t want to hit him again.

Nelson even flipped the bird to McCarthy because he was upset the fight wasn’t stopped sooner:

Nelson’s anger is completely understandable in this case, and actually somewhat endearing.
