The UFC is home for the most memorable and violent finishes, either via KO/TKO or submission stoppage, but further damage to a fighter can be mitigated thanks to the third man inside the Octagon, the referee.
These in-fight officials are crucial to an athlete's safety and important for online sports betting, especially when a fan places a bet on the UFC odds' total round betting.
But how much do UFC referees make? And how their pay varies depending on their experience and the event they are officiating?
How Much Do UFC Refs Make?
A UFC referee can earn from $500 to $2,500 per fight. This varies on their experience level, as an entry-level referee should receive a minimum pay of $500 per bout, while a veteran referee, like Herb Dean and Marc Goddard, bags a whopping $2,500 per fight.
