Former Fighters Who Are Now Referees

[AmonTobin]

How much fun would some UFC fights be with 1 of your favourite retired fighters as a referee?
Have you seen any recognizable retired fighters as 3rd man/woman in the cage? Who would you want to see? I've seen Frank Trigg in there. I'd love to see GSP, Chuck Liddell, Forrest Griffin reffing some day.

Vitor Ribeiro is a referee.

I think Griffin would be good but you must be joking about Liddell. GSP I doubt would have any interest.

Shonie Carter refs or at least used to.

Nice one. Yes I’ve seen him in that double KO fight. Lol

Ya I think Forrest would actually be good. You wouldn’t want to see Chuck running around with his death stare for 3 rounds? I saw Ribeiro in there just last week I think.

I don't know about reffing, but I'm pretty sure Forrest Griffin is a catcher in some slap fighting promotion.

Haha I think it’d be a shitshow for sure.

Ha I wouldn't know because I ain't never watching that shit.

Forgot about Chris Leben.

Nice. I knew he was a judge but didn't know he reffed too.

 

[AmonTobin]

Herb Dean fought.

Was he ever well known as a fighter though?
Now if he went from reffing back to fighting..I'd have to check that out.

Now you got me picturing Lil Joe as a ref, running around like a ground hog, getting stepped on by the fighters because he's too damn slow (and short).

 

[Skarsgard]

Trigg does really well. I'd be cool with someone like Mighty Mouse or GSP. Ideally find someone who is tremendously well-rounded so they won't have as much of a bias in the standup or grappling.
