COMMAND MMA Referee and Judge Course

Hosted by the Minnesota Office of Combative Sports and the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Department of Athletic Regulation, Big John McCarthy's Command MMA Referee and Judge Two-Day Course will bypass the basics of officiating and focus on establishing proven referee mechanics, theoretical problem-solving, judging criteria and the "why" behind what every MMA official must know and do.

You'll learn how to establish yourself as an evolving official who understands not only the black and white of officiating, but also all of the gray in between.
