Aaron Chatfield has a great judging criteria and well done cards. Better than any i have seen on other shows and it makes for very consistent judging

Aaron's level of understanding of MMA and the extent of his contributions to MMA in the UK have often been underestimated

I have been asked to judge on shows in the past and all i was given is a blank piece of paper to write everything down on and no fightcard. Remember a show where there was only one pen between the 3 judges sat next to each other.

I agree but i think he is starting to get the recognition he deserves and most Northern shows are using his expertise in one way or another now

[Neil Hall]

Aaron is without doubt very good at what he does, consistant also as Ian says

think this could evolve into a some sort Licensed ref register ?
Shows could then approach the register and request refs for there show.

The reason this interests me is the amount of bad decisions that I/we have winessed on shows and obviously the refs not seeing something that is potentialy puting the fighter is danger quick enough.
