Jon Jones talked to Sports Illustrated and said that he wants the loss taken off his record from his fight against Matt Hamill at the Ultimate Fighter 10 season finale.

“A big part of it is that Mazzagatti just didn’t handle things right. You know, he’s standing over Matt Hamill, who can’t see at the time because he has blood in his eyes, and obviously he can’t hear, and Mazzagatti is standing there asking him if he’s okay. Then he stops the fight.”

Later in the interview, Jones mentions that he never knew Mazzagatti’s reputation as a ref:

“I didn’t really know anything about him until I went and read some of the blogs and found out that no one thinks he’s a good ref. The UFC seems to hate this guy. No one thinks he’s good at what he does. I guess this isn’t the first time something has happened with him.”

Hamill has mentioned on his website that he agrees that the fight should not have ended in a disqualification and that the loss should be removed from Jones’s record, bringing it back to an undefeated one.
