Texas to discuss adoption of CSAC’s 10-point weight-cutting reform plan
ScaleAnother major state could be joining California in its efforts against extreme weight cutting.
The Texas Combative Sports Program will discuss the California State Athletic Commission’s (CSAC) 10-point weight-cutting reform plan at its advisory board meeting Friday, program director Greg Alvarez told MMA Fighting on Monday.
The CSAC plan includes the additional weight classes approved by the Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports (ABC); increased fines for fighters who miss weight; giving doctors the power to approve the weight class of a fighter; fight-day weight checks; and hydration and specific gravity testing.
