Referee and judges selected for Valentina Shevchenko’s UFC 285 title fight

Valentina Shevchenko looks to make her eighth successful defense of the UFC women’s flyweight title on March 4 when she meets Alexa Grasso in the co-main event of the UFC 285-pay-per-view card.

During its monthly meeting on Wednesday, the Nevada State Athletic Commission selected Jason Herzog as the referee for the five-round fight. Also, the NSAC named Ben Cartlidge, Derek Cleary and Chris Lee as the judges for the 125-pound title scrap. Herzog will earn a $2,600 payday for his services and each of the judges will take home $2,300 for working the fight.
