According to MMA Junkie, Marc Goddard will serve as the referee for the Welterweight title between division king, Kamaru Usman, and No. 1 contender, Colby Covington. Furthermore, Derek Cleary, Sal D’Amato and Eric Colon have been tasked as judges for the main event.
In the co-headlining act, Featherweight champion, Max Holloway, will defend his title against Alex Volkanovski, which will be officiated by Jason Herzog, who will be the man in the middle for a UFC title fight for the first time. According to the report, Mike Bell, Junichiro Kamijo and Chris Lee will be the judges.
Also, Keith Peterson will be the official in the middle when UFC champ-champ, Amanda Nunes, puts her Bantamweight title on the line against Germaine De Randamie. The judges for that title fight will be Dave Hagen, Ron McCarthy and D’Amato.
