Veteran MMA referee John McCarthy has disclosed the reasons behind his decision to no longer officiate UFC events, according to a report from Last Word on Sports published Friday.
The story, authored by Kshitiz Kumar Singh Bishop Lister, details McCarthy's explanation for stepping away from the promotion where he became one of the sport's most recognizable officials. McCarthy, who began refereeing UFC bouts in 1994, was instrumental in shaping modern mixed martial arts officiating standards.
