Refereeing in the UFC 4 years in 🤯 Who's the greatest MMA Ref of all time?Added:
What's up guys?
I'm Mark Goddard here, MMA referee, and today I shall be breaking down one of my all-time favorite rounds in MMA, Nathaniel Wood and Josh Reed. Yeah, I started my journey as a referee in 2004, completely by accident.
Was refereeing on uh domestic shows, namely Cage Warriors, who I've had a 22-year working relationship with, basically since I first started reffing. And then I've actually been with the UFC now for coming on to the 18th year. My first ever event, funnily enough, for the UFC was here in my hometown of Birmingham.
Uh UFC 89 in 2008.
And fast-forward now 2026, and here we are.
