John McCarthy Wiki Biography
John McCarthy was born on the 12th October 1962, in Los Angeles, California USA, and is a mixed martial arts referee, best known for working in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. McCarthy is also a licensed boxing referee, and is a founder of C.O.M.M.A.N.D., a certification school and training course for MMA judges and referees. His career started in 1985.
Have you ever wondered how rich John McCarthy is, as of late 2016? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that McCarthy’s net worth is as high as $500,000, an amount earned through his successful career as an MMA referee. In addition to being one of the most recognizable UFC judges, McCarthy has also worked for the Los Angeles Police Department, which also improved his net worth.
John McCarthy grew up in California, and became a police officer in 1985 when he joined the Los Angeles Police Department, following the steps of his father, Ronald. In the early 90’s, John trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Rorion Gracie, and McCarthy asked Rorion to give him a chance in the UFC, but Gracie decided to utilise his experience in law enforcement and set him as a referee.
In 1994, John had his UFC debut at UFC 2: No Way Out and stayed a regular ref until 2007 when he stopped this career to become a television commentator for The Fight Network and Affliction. However, McCarthy returned as a referee in 2008, and handled numerous important fights, including at the K-1 Dynamite! card at the Osaka Dome in Japan between Akebono Taro, a Sumo legend, and Royce Gracie, an MMA legend in 2014. He was also the ref at the UFC 194 between Connor McGregor and Jose Aldo in December 2015. Since February 2015, John McCarthy has worked with Sean Wheelock on their new weekly podcast called “Let’s Get It On with Big John McCarthy & Sean Wheelock”. John also appeared in the movie “Never Back Down 2: The Beatdown” (2012) starring Evan Peters, Michael Jai White among others, and in the martial arts documentary “Fight Life” (2013), all of which added a substantial amount to his net worth.
He opened his first MMA School in Valencia, California in 2006, and eventually sold it in 2015. In September 2011, McCarthy released his autobiography called “Let’s Get It On – The Making of MMA and its Ultimate Referee”, both of which added to his net worth.
Regarding his personal life, John McCarthy is married to Elaine, and they have three children together. In May 2014, McCarthy was assaulted by two men in the parking lot in front of Costco in Los Angeles. The assailants had some issues with a couple of fights that BigJohn handled in the past, especially the particular one of Tito Ortiz, and after shouting, they attacked. Although McCarthy injured both of them, the attackers knocked him out and continued to kick him in the ribs while he was out until the police came and arrested the thugs.
