The referees and judges have been selected for the upcoming title fights at UFC 317 with Ilia Topuria facing Charles Oliveira for the vacant lightweight title as well as Alexandre Pantoja putting his flyweight belt up for grabs against Kai Kara-France.
On Friday, the Nevada State Athletic Commission approved the officials working the June 28 event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Marc Goddard is set to serve as the referee for the title fight between Topuria and Oliveira as they battle for the vacant belt that was recently relinquished by now former champion Islam Makhachev.
The judges scoring the fight are set with Derek Cleary, Sal D’Amato and Chris Lee.
In the co-main event, Pantoja goes for his fourth consecutive title defense when he faces Kara-France.
Herb Dean serves as the third man in the octagon with the veteran referee overseeing Pantoja vs. Kara-France with judges Mike Bell, Ben Cartilage and Ron McCarthy scoring the title fight.
The remainder of the referee and judging assignments won’t be distributed until fight night in Las Vegas.
UFC 317 caps off the latest installment of International Fight Week with the final bout order for the event still to be determined.
The main card for UFC 317 kicks off Saturday night, June 28 at 10 p.m. ET with the event airing on ESPN+ pay-per-view.
