Familiar Faces
Goddard will oversee the bantamweight title clash between Merab Dvalishvili and Petr Yan. Mike Bell, Derek Cleary and Eric Colon will serve as judges for the UFC 323 headliner. Goddard was also the official for Dvalishvili’s last title defense, a five-round verdict over Cory Sandhagen at UFC 320 on Oct. 4.
Meanwhile, Herb Dean will referee the flyweight title tilt pitting Alexandre Pantoja against Joshua Van in the UFC 323 co-main event. Sal D’Amato, Chris Lee and Ron McCarthy will score the contest from their cageside seats. Dean was also in the Octagon when Pantoja submitted Kai Kara-France in his most recent outing at UFC 317.
