I know MMA being self-regulated would open a huge Pandora box.
They need an independent body to regulate them.
However, every time UFC has an event outside US, they are self-regulated.
That means they can call any judges they want.
That also means they can do things that make more sense.
Take the example of Chad Mendes vs. Yaotzin Meza. That fight would be stopped because the ref didn't see the groin shot. Once he acknowledged the mistake, he allowed the fight to continue.
I bet if you are Chad Mendes, you'd prefer to win with the huge KO than with a groin shot!
So what do you think? Self-regulated is better (as long as Zuffa does a good job of calling good judges, refs, etc) or you'd rather have NSAC ruling MMA?
