MMARS Graduate George Gallegos said:

“Being able to referee professional MMA matches through the MMARS program was not only a great introduction into a career in officiating, but was an experience of a lifetime. I will never forget entering the cage and saying ‘Let's Fight!’”

MMARS Graduate Kan Vandal said:

"Being a referee is an art all in its own, and there is no better instructor in this art form than Herb Dean. From the classroom to the mat and then finally in the cage, Herb breaks down and explains the Unified Rules in a way that is a benefit to any aspiring referee, judge, coach, combatant.”

MMA Referee School’s goal is to provide well trained officials for the best sport on earth.

Consistency is the goal. Communication and training is the way. -Herb Dean
