Q&A with UFC referee Mario Yamasaki

Veteran referee Mario Yamasaki will be the man in charge at UFC 126 main event between middleweight champion Anderson Silva and the challenger Vitor Belfort. I set down with Mario at Yamasaki Academy in Rockville, Maryland to talk about how he got started in the business and what he does outside the octagon.
