MMA Warlike: If there's Ever An In-Cage Death In MMA We're Pretty Sure That Cecil Peoples Will Be the Referee Involved

When Cecil Peoples isn't screwing up the judging of important title fights or telling fans who disagree with his bias towards his fellow karate stylists to "go to hell," he's causing countless near death experiences like the one above inside the cage.
Our pal Layzie the Savage was cageside at the Long Beach Fight Night event Sunday night to capture the latest in a long line of patented Peoples fuck ups.
I used to think that CePe must be wearing a pair of these when he judges to hide the fact that he's sneaking a few winks and that he already pre-filled out the scorecards before the show, but now I'm thinking he must have Angry Birds installed on his iPhone because he's proven himself an equally inattentive in-cage official as he is a cageside one.
Seriously, the dude makes Steve Mazzagatti look like Herb Dean.
Remember when he sprinted across the cage to try to stop Jorge Santiago from inflicting any further punishment on Sean Salmon about forty seconds too late like he was busy grabbing a hotdog and a beer from the stands and didn't notice that the fight was over?
No? Well have a look at the near tragic comedy of errors below and tell me this guy is a competent referee who has any business officiating an MMA bout.

I don't think it's from a lack of effort, because Cecil seems to really be trying hard to do a good job, with his puffed up description of the prestigious King of the Cage heavyweight title to his overly-dramatic drunken uncle kung fu move he uses to start each bout. It's just that he has no clue that he's as terrible as he is at his job.

It's sad, really. He's like that guy at the bar on karaoke night who actually thinks that a record exec will some day catch one of his weekly performances of Journey's Don't Stop Believin' and offer him a shot on the big stage, only he doesn't realize that he sounds like Corky from Life Goes On if his voice coach were Matt Hammill. To Cecil, the King of the Cage belt really is the most prestigious belt in the world, because KOTC is the highest level he's allowed to referee at as per the request of promoters, fighters and fans around the country.

The problem is, Peoples fancies himself a celebrity (and who could blame him with the acting credentials he has) and thinks that every fight he's involved in as a judge or a referee is about him, and unfortunately not about the safety or livelihood of the fighters.
