December 20. The UFC Fight Night event at the Apex the evening before was in the books, meaning that for the next three weeks the Octagon would be dark.
So where was the UFC’s Senior Vice President of Government and Regulatory Affairs, Marc Ratner, on Sunday night?
Courtside at the UNLV vs. Pacific basketball game, running the shot clock as he has for the school’s home games for over 35 years. That’s not to mention his duties as a Division I football official for over two decades, with three bowl games under his belt.
Needless to say, getting announced as the latest member of the UFC Hall of Fame’s Class of 2020 in November hasn’t gotten to his head.
