Here is another person's copy of Steve's post.
Sambosteve wrote this:
"I have no vested interest in this, I had not met or known anyone involved in this until today, and I am not a member of the BJJ community. I really could care less about all the stuff that led up to this challenge. I was simply asked by the mods at bullshido to ref a fight because I was in NYC and have ref experience...and was objective.
I have no reason to lie...just as many of you have no reason to believe me (I understand that). All I know Is I wasted my Sunday afternoon for a fight with guys that did not show up.
I got to Fighthouse at 12:45pm. Chatted with Peggy (the owner) until about 1:15pm when Mikey and his crew showed up. Ming was there as well. As was Jack. We all discussed the challenge with Peggy. She knew I was the referee.
Peggy (and Edgar, the other owner) and I go way back...about 10 years in the NYC martial arts scene. I used to train at Fighthouse many years ago. We have kept in touch since. In fact, when I came in, she said "Sorry, I have no kurtka for sale"...LOL.
At 1:45pm, still nobody showed up. So, I offered to do a sambo class for the guys to make up for the wasted trip. We spoke to Peggy, told her nobody showed up for the fight, but that we would be waiting if they did. Mikey paid Peggy extra mat fees so the guys could roll with me. Including mine.
At about 2pm, some guys left, but meyself, Mikey, Ming, Jack, and some other guys from Mikey's school I had just met started working out on the mats. Everytime people came in the gym (we were in view of the front door) we stopped to see if thjey were looking for anyone. At 3pm we stopped our sambo work out. Got changed and left by 3:30pm.
There is no way anyone could miss us. Peggy and Edgar knew we were waiting for people to arrive. They would have pointed me out to anyone that asked...or told me people were looking for us. Second, the place is not huge. It is a large open room with a ring in the center. We saw everyone that that came and left. People could easily see us working out as well. At one point, Kempofist (I think) went outside to see if Al's guys might be there. No luck.
All this is videotaped on several cameras...with clocks, timestamps, us looking bored, etc...even the sambo workout.
Again, I have absolutely no reason to lie. All I know is that I spent an afternoon waiting for people to show up and they never did.
AND, when I got home, I called Fighthouse to see if anyone came after we left. No luck again."
You can't stop the truth Al."

He really is an idiot. And a douche.
especially when that someone is slacking like Kempofist...
