The Nevada State Athletic Commission announced the referee and
judging assignments for the two championship bouts at UFC 300
during a Tuesday meeting. Derek Cleary, Sal D’Amato and Ron
McCarthy will serve as cageside judges for the bout. This will be
the first time that Dean has officiated a UFC fight involving
Pereira, but he did oversee Hill’s victory against Thiago
Santos in August 2022.
Jason Herzog will be the referee for the strawweight championship
clash between Weili Zhang
and Xiaonan Yan,
and Mike Bell, Ben Cartlidge and Chris Lee will serve as the
cageside judges. This will be Herzog’s first time reffing one of
Zhang’s fights, but he did officate Yan’s decision win over
Claudia
Gadelha in November 2020.
UFC 300 takes place on April 13 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las
Vegas.
