Veteran MMA referee Josh Rosenthal today was sentenced to 37 months in prison, three years’ probation and a $100 fee for his role in a large-scale pot operation in Oakland, Calif.
The sentence matches the prison time recommended in a January plea deal Rosenthal copped with federal prosecutors, though it shaves two years off probation.
Without a deal, Rosenthal faced 10 years to life in prison, a $10 million fine and a minimum of five years’ probation.
A representative for U.S. District Court judge Saundra Brown Armstrong, who issued the sentence, confirmed Rosenthal’s punishment with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). Rosenthal’s attorney could not be reached for comment.
