UFC/BOXING Judges, old nerds?

Everytime I watch a UFC or a boxing event for that matter and they show a picture of the judges, why is it that they are usually old 100lb nerdy looking guys who look like they have never set feet on the octogan.

I have also seen UFC women judges that look like they should be quilting or something.

Where do they get these guys from?

:-)

they should have people like Max Kellerman as judges.

the judges have martial arts experience. some of them are also trainers and instructors as well.

yep. i can vouch for jeff mullens. a great guy and a great trainer. oh, by the way. he's over a 100 lbs.
