Why do refs pat you down before you enter the rinbg/cage?

Hi. Just wondering why fighters are patted down from the ears all the way down to the legs before the fight. Checking for what? weapons?

Probably weapons can't take the chance of anything slipping through.

Checking for greasing agents as well as any lumps or bumps that might have been incurred in the warm up prior to the fight.
Overall they are making sure the fighter is in OK condition to enter the ring. They also check their fingernails to ensure they are clipped properly.
