Patrick Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 From the Rockford Register Star:Beginning Tuesday, the state boxing commission will take over all professional MMA bouts in Illinois, overseeing and regulating everything within the borders. The days of different rules at every event, and inexperienced judges making bad calls, appear to be over.Some are downplaying the affect it will have on the sport in the area, while others are having a difficult time controlling their excitement. The common theme among all local MMA fans, promoters, fighters and officials is that change is on the way.Anyone here from Illinois?

bushido_man96 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 This is good to see. Things will begin to regulate better for MMA as this continues. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallgeese Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I agree, it's a very good thing to see. As someone who works with amature fighters in the area, I have gotten tired of showing up for a fight and have the rule set change at the last minute. I've seen my share of bad refs and judges (some good ones too, however). I think it will go a long way to raising the level of professionalism in the sport a long way. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
