Mixed martial arts (MMA) has become a sector with enormous appeal in our country. The rise of great national promoters of this discipline, together with the success of Spanish fighters in the UFC, with Ilia Topuria at the helm, have allowed the creation of an ecosystem that enjoys very good health, and that the great icons of the sport want to participate in it.
In this context, numerous fighters with great symbolism within the UFC have expressed their intention to visit Spanish territory to hold large seminars, but other figures are also going to visit Spain to carry out their work. one of them is Mark Goddardconsidered by many the best referee in the world of mixed martial arts.
This ‘referee’ was refereeing, on October 26, the fight between Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway, and on November 30, as ABC MMA has learned exclusively, will be performing in the professional fights of WAR IVan event that celebrates its fourth numbered edition in a big way, stopping at the Caja Mágica in Madrid, with a poster that promises to be historic for the Alicante company.
Although it is true that Goddard was already present in Spain refereeing in some of the AFL events in the past, he had not acted in our country for a long time and now, when his figure has grown enormously, he will do so again in a big way, in an evening that will take place in a venue with capacity for 10,000 spectators.

The WAR promoter returned to the scene a few months ago, in a sort of rebirth, with the Topuria coaches, Jorge and Agustín Climent at the helm. Among their plans is to hold large events on an ongoing basis. For the moment, in this WAR IV, Goddard could referee some national figures such as Salah Eddinefrom Climent Club, who will face Gabriel Pasqualotti; to David Trallerowho will face former UFC fighter Ricco Rodríguez, also exUFC Marco Beltranwho will face Rogerio Ferreira, to David Morawho will face Allef Jordelly or Andres Molanowho will be fighting against Tiziano Ferranti.
