Larry Landless: My 8-Year Fight with Cancer & Why I Left the UFC/KOTC Referee Life

Larry Landless is the veteran MMA referee who stood between some of the biggest legends in the sport. But today, he is facing his biggest fight yet.

Larry also weighs in on the recent betting scandal, why a referee's integrity is non-negotiable, and his greatest memories from cornering B.J. Penn and others.
