Referees, Judges Selected for Both UFC 235 Championship Fights

Herb Dean will be the third man in the cage when Jon Jones defends his light heavyweight crown against Anthony Smith in the UFC 235 headliner on Saturday.

The Nevada Athletic Commission on Monday voted unanimously to assign Dean referee duties for the Jones-Smith bout, which will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Dean, who last officiated Jones interim title bout against Ovince St. Preux at UFC 197, will receive $1,900 for his work.

Sal D’Amato, Junichiro Kamijo and Chris Lee will serve as judges for the UFC 235 headliner. All three cageside scorers will earn $1,600.

Meanwhile, Marc Goddard will officiate the welterweight title clash between Tyron Woodley and Kamaru Usman in the co-main event. Like Dean, Goddard will receive $1,900. Mike Bell, Derek Cleary and Dave Hagen will score the bout and earn $1,600 apiece.
