How could I be a Mixed Martial Arts referee?

by MasterBlaster on January 7, 2010

Does anyone know what credentials or courses you have to take to be a mixed martial arts referee.

I practice MMA and know alot about the sport. I’m sure I could do alot better job than some of those guys I see reffing fights.

MMA referreeing is relatively new, and there are lots of them needed.

I attached a link to John McCarthy’s MMA ref training school. There’s some good info, and you can see if you are interested enough to take a course.

Good Luck.
