5. Cecil Peoples
Cecil Peoples believes that people pay their hard-earned money to watch him referee bouts, and he’s not going to let any lowly fighters steal the attention from him.
Peoples seems to go out of his way to make the fight about him. During a King of the Cage Championship bout, Peoples decided to throw everyone off when he signalled for the fight to start by making some weird karate chop motion, because you know its fine for a referee to just making up new norms on the fly.
He also tried mightily to have a signature phrase, just like John McCarthy, however Peoples’ “Let’s Dance!” has not really caught on in the same way.
Here’s Cecil making sure the crowds attention is on him and not Daniel Cormier, like it should be.
