There is a noticeable division in the Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports (ABC).
Some regulators are on the side of moving forward with the changes to the Unified Rules of MMA passed last year; others want to go back to the old way or at least come up with something more palatable for everyone.
Mike Mazzulli, the ABC president, told MMA Fighting on Saturday that he won’t turn away anyone who has ideas to bring to the body during its annual conference at the end of July at Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun. He just wants any regulator to first go through the MMA rules and regulations committee, chaired by Sean Wheelock.
