Marc Ratner: UFC aiming to increase quality of MMA officiating nationwide
With power comes responsibility, and the heads of the UFC understand that as well as anyone.
While the UFC is clearly the sport’s largest – and most profitable – organization, much of the growth in regulation and acceptance of the sport of mixed martial arts is thanks to the Las Vegas-based promotion.
With nationwide regulation nearing completion, UFC exec Marc Ratner recently told the MMAjunkie.com Radio Network (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) that increasing the quality of officiating was one of his next big projects.
“That’s one of my other charges, is trying to make the officials better – get better referees, teaching more and doing more seminars,” Ratner said. “We’re going to do more of that, hopefully, next year.”
