John McCarthy's thought during Kimbo Slice-Dada 5000: 'Oh my God, this thing's going all three rounds'

GARDEN GROVE, Calif. -- If you thought "Big" John McCarthy had a look on his face during Friday night's Kimbo Slice-Dada 5000 fight like he couldn't quite believe what he was watching, well, you may have been right.

"I honestly thought it would be over within the first round," said McCarthy, who officiated at Saturday night's WSOF 28 here in Orange County. "And you know, when we got to the end of the first round, I thought, ‘Oh my God, this thing's going to go all three rounds.'"

The dean of mixed martial arts officials, McCarthy has forgotten more fights than even the most voracious fans have ever watched.
