> John McCain had an added motivation to see the UFC banished. He was not only a huge boxing fan; his wife was tied to one of the country’s largest distributors of Anheuser-Busch, producer of Budweiser beer, a major sponsor in boxing at the time - Big John McCarthy, "Let’s Get It On!"
I've been reading Big John's new book recently, and he mentions in there that he was once present at a wedding ceremony in the middle of the Octagon. It was one of the few times he didn't mind saying "let's get it on" outside of a fight (though I don't think he was officiating, as that would have been a bit weird: nevertheless, he also mentions that quite a few people have asked him to do so).
No doubt there is at least one jiu jitsu couple out there that got married in their gis on the mat, or something like that. :)
Here's an interview she did last year. It's pretty informative.
Also, people should know that reffing inside a cage with two trained killers and millions of pay-per-view subscribers watching is about as hard a job as one can have.
Read Big John McCarthy's book 'Let's Get It On' if you have any misconceptions about this fact.
