I haven't seen Josh Rosenthal refereeing in the UFC for awhile...

...and now I know why. Man, he got 37 months for running a marijuana grow-op in a warehouse! That's one way to supplement your income. At least we know who Nick Diaz's favorite referee is. ::

 

More evidence that the UFC underpays its help.






Okay, I admit it, I have no idea how much he was paid.

 

to be honest, I don't think the UFC has anything to do with his pay. It's most probably the A.C..

 

I'm guessing you're wrong since we always see the same guys and girl reffing UFC fights and there has to be other qualified people.

Also, Big John McCarthy had his spat with the UFC (over money?), and they kept him from reffing. Anyone know for sure how it works?

It's the commissions. Basically the acs run a good ole boy network and have a hierarchy system where "top" officials work UFC and the rest work lesser shows. John retired from MMA officiating and got bumped down from his spot for years.


Even if they did decide his pay, which they don't, not sure why they'd break the bank over a referee.
