Nevada hearing to update regulations at June 21 meeting

[Pacemaker Joe]

Updates include random out of competition testing, promoters using a 3rd party for testing (UFC/USADA), and increased penalties for test failures.

If anyone remembers the proposed sanctions that NAC came up with in 2015, this is the legislation to enact those changes.

Yea. They did add this though:

Stimulant drinks or drinks with caffeine, including, but not limited to, Red Bull, Rock Star, and Monster, are prohibited on the day of or during a bout. Electrolyte drinks, including, but not limited to, Gatorade, PowerAde, SmartWater, and Propel, are allowed prefight and during a fight. All drinks must be sealed and approved by an inspector who will sign off on the drink. Unsealed drinks are prohibited.

Caffeine isn't prohibited by WADA, though it's monitored for.

Any chance or rule changes? Knees all the time would make the sport so much better.

Basically theyve based their new rules around USADA

Any ban that USADA issue Nevada have wide enough ranges to just replicate the bans, I would say USADA have had input on this.

Nevada and USADA now streamlined.. thats going to have a big knock on effect to fighers in smaller orgs, who are basically now subject to the same bans and rules as UFC fighters.

I think thats the case at the moment though. Apparently all that was ever allowed was bottled water. Was a peice the other week about UFC now providing drinks and snacks at events for the first time.

Like when Igor got stuck in the corner upside down and Coleman almost paralyzed him?

Poor Igor.....Probably why he left sport so early.

[Human Bass]

Behind the ear can be turned into a foul? The fuck. Below navel is stupid too, bladder/bowel shots are not crazy painful, not worse than plexus or liver shots.

 

[Paradigm]

Like when Igor got stuck in the corner upside down and Coleman almost paralyzed him?

Poor Igor.....Probably why he left sport so early.

But did he get paralyzed? No...he actually runs an restaurant now and is fine.

How did Joao Carvalho die? From grounded knee strikes?

No more shots after a standing KO? Is a point going to be deducted if you do so? Lol

I guess we'll never see this again. On a random note, my friend saw Baroni at PTT yesterday...dude looks out of shape compared to old NYBA.

not really just sounds like, this rule just reiteates stop when the ref says so lol. Typical waste of governemnt time, probably took 6 weeks to examine this rule

In your gif as accordance with the rule the fighter stopped when the ref said his opponent was KO'ed
