The UFC’s 2024 schedule is in the books.
This past year was busy and booming not only for fighters, promoters, and coaches, but referees, as well. The UFC held events in nine U.S. jurisdictions (California, Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Texas and Utah) and nine international countries ( Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Macau, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom).
Over the span of 12 months, the UFC promoted 42 events. During those shows, 50 referees were used – an 8.7 percent increase in the number of referees (46) used across 43 events in 2023.
With the increased diversification of officials and locations, the number of fights refereed by last year’s leaders bumped down on an individual basis, except for the leader, who hit the exact same number of fights year over year.
Below is a full list of every referee that officiated at least one UFC fight in 2024 (in alphabetical order by last name). The list does not include Dana White’s Contender Series, “Road to UFC,” or “The Ultimate Fighter” fights. The data was calculated using comprehensive MMA database Tapology:
