Comment on State Athletic Commission Update by kkline_83

Jason Franklin, you need to start looking at things outside the box. Lets say you are right, those guys didnt have there paper work done, IT DOESNT MATTER!!! You cant replace those fighters under the new rules of 10 day having fight card submitted. And even if all the fighters did have there paper work in check, fights would still cancel due to all the other reasons. This wasnt a problem in the past because you could find replacement fighters no problem but now when 1 fighter backs out, that turns into 2 fighters acking out.

You get it now? ITs not the commissions fault for turns outs being crappy, its the rules they have set (well 1 rule) that messes up the entire flow of things. If you have been around for years to actually see why fights have been canceled, its not because of paper work, its usually do to injury. I can name 10 people right now if you would like and each card and they were all canceled due to other reasons other than paper work. This wasnt a problem in the past but now its impossible to find replacements under the new rules.

Do you get it now?

I sat in on the commission meeting last night. They were very accommodating, working with the Cage Titans matchmaker approving a last minute replacement for Friday Night’s Fight card.

All fighters have their medicals in and the state approved the fight card yesterday…Big thanks to the state for being patient with us as we worked with the fighters on getting everything in on time!

Two things left to do….Weigh-ins today and fights tomorrow!

It will be interesting to see how RI handles MMA.

I think the higher costs, medicals, corners, etc. might be the reason why the majority of the seats for the UFC in Boston are in the 300- 600 range! (/end sarcasm font).

Gonzales/Giove will be great. When we see submissions in average or lower level fights, they can be chalked up to “being caught” or inexperience. If or when we see a submission in this fight, it will be a resutl of great coaching and a perfectly executed game plan because neither guy makes mistakes.

Once or twice a year, New England is blessed with a new talent that is destined to be in the UFC. This is the year of Rick Hawn. New England has never had a more dominant local fighter! July 31st at the Hampshire Dome will most likely be our last chance to see him fight locally… and it is against “Mr. International” Shonie Carter.

I do agree with Bonnell that NH is great. Never had a problem with them. Very accommodating. But my hope is that MA eventually works it all out and we are on par with NH.

Its a work in progress.

kkline,

I see where you are coming from. But if promoters, match makers, and fighters get all their paper work in on time there is no problem. Why did 6 fights get canceled at Reality Fighting? Was its the commissions fault or was it promoter/match maker/fighters fault. I don’t know because I wasn’t there but I am willing to bet fighters did not have proper paperwork. You can’t blame the commission for that.

I just had my first show (Premier FC) on July 24th. The day of the show 3 fights were canceled by KICK and the doctor because fighters that supposedly had medicals at weigh ins could not produce before the fight. Who’s fault is that? THE FIGHTERS for not having in proper paper work. I thanked them (KICK and the doctor) for not allowing them to compete because I don’t want to be that show that gets made an example of by the commission.

I agree this sport is expensive but if you want to get to the next level you sacrifice.

Even when you get to the next level its expensive. Ask any local fighter who has made it. But the struggle is worth the reward when you do make it.

ksturd, it doesnt matter if every fighter had there paper work in because when it comes down to it the night of or the night before, fights gets messed up for other reasons like weight issues, injury, backing out for personal reasons, etc. With this new rule of 10 day to submit fight card, it will make it impossible to get replacements even if all the fighters had there medicals. You see what I am saying? And the proof is in the pudding my friend, 6 fights… why even bother putting on a show? What do you have intermission after 3 fights? Or not at all? Someone needs to make a loophole to this rule or get rid of it all together.
