During the broadcast of UFC 255, the promotion announced a new entry to their Hall of Fame. Over the last decade and a half, Marc Ratner has been a consistent force for the UFC when it comes to rules enforcement, regulations, and working with commissions to improve oversight in MMA. He’s been a key figure with the promotion in their conversations around judging and restricting TRT exemptions back in the early 2010’s, as well as a major driver for the UFC during their long push for MMA legalization in New York.
Speaking to Bloody Elbow back in 2013, Ratner talked about his personal investment in bringing MMA to the ‘Empire State’.
