update July 27, 2022 – Today both the below policies were embraced and Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Camerún now form part of the ABC’s unified rules. There were some minor adjustments to the neoprene sleeve policy confirming a competitor cannot get hold of their own sleeve advantageously. I will additionally update this post once I receive a copy of the final text of that policy that was amended.
____________________________________
At this years annual conference for the association of Boxing Commissions and Combative sports two formal potential modifications to MMA’s unified policies will be voted on by member commissions.
The first offers with eye poke recovery time. presently when a fighter receives Camiseta Ajax a low blow foul they have as much as 5 minutes to recover. It is the only foul that brings this luxury. The ABC’s policies and guidelines committee has unanimously authorized a proposed policy bringing this procedure to also apply to fighters who receive an eye poke. The proposed new policy reads as follows:
Eye poke Foul:
A fighter who has got an eye poke as called by the referee is enabled as much as five minutes to recover from the foul as long as the ringside doctor confirms the fighter may possibly continue in the contest once recovered. If the fighter specifies they can see and desire to continue, and verified by doctor, the referee shall as soon as functional restart the fight. If the fighter discusses the five minute time allotment the fight cannot be restarted and the contest need to come to an end with the outcome figured out by the round and time in which the fight was stopped.
The second policy authorized by the ABC’s policies committee associates with Neoprene Sleeves confirming these can only be used on ankles and knees but not upper body joints.
The proposed policy modifications will be both voted on by the full ABC membership this week. I will update this post with the results once known.
