New Jersey’s athletic regulatory body has been consistent with its view of the new definition of a grounded fighter. And the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board (NJSACB) believes its point was proven Saturday night at UFC 210.
Gegard Mousasi defeated Chris Weidman in the co-main event of the card after a controversy having to do with whether Mousasi landed illegal knees to Weidman’s head. Under the old Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports (ABC) Unified Rules of MMA, the knees would have been illegal. Under the new rules, they were legal.
