It seems there's some minor controversy brewing ahead of UFC 200 as Jon Jones told the assembled media that he'd rather have any referee other than John McCarthy for his upcoming bout with Daniel Cormier.
Not long ago Nevada State Athletic Commission officials announced the referee and judging assignments for the upcoming massive UFC 200 PPV card. And right away Jon Jones had a problem. When it turned out that "Big" John McCarthy had been assigned as the referee for the PPV headliner between Jones and Cormier, Jones' camp was quick to file a protest with the commission and attempt to get the assignment changed.
