Veteran referee Herb Dean will once again be the third man in the cage whenDaniel Cormier puts his UFC light heavyweight championship on the line against Jon Jones at UFC 197.

The Nevada Athletic Commission unanimously appointed Dean for the role at a Wednesday meeting in Las Vegas.

The night's co-main event, which features Demetrious Johnson defending his UFC flyweight title against Henry Cejudo, will be overseen by veteran referee John McCarthy. McCarthy, like Dean, was unanimously appointed Tuesday.

UFC 197 takes place April 23, 2016 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main card airs live on pay-per-view.

I always hate to see Sal as a judge, I think if you gave an iguana a top hat and poked one of its eyes out it would still out judge him

Big John should ref all the fights or all refs should pass he's training courses. Most refs are not upto par.
