The ABC's annual meeting is over, no changes to the unified rules of MMA, but there are 4 very minor policy changes.

Going to the scorecards vs a NC after a foul ends a fight - no change for us because the new policy (scorecards after the halfway point, down to the second on the clock) only impacts 1, 2, and 4-round fights. They have to change the unified rules for 3 and 5-round fights.

Greasing - the jelly they apply before the fighter enters the cage can now be re-applied between rounds, but only by the cutman.

KO definition - Current: arbitrary decision by the referee and/or commission. New: Fighter is physically unable to defend themselves = KO, fighter is not defending themselves (eg curling up) = TKO.

Referee authority after the final bell - In the rare case of a flagrant foul after the fight is over, if the inspectors from the AC have not yet re-entered the cage, then the ref can DQ a fighter.

Aren't there professional services for this sort of thing yet? Clean out your garbage, maybe put in some stuff about how you love babies and old people?

I didn't realize how much I missed Nate. One of my favorite fighters of all time (along with his brother).

Looking at his wiki profile, I counted 14 _____ of the night awards, including a stretch of 6 in a row earlier in his career.

I'm pretty sure its a trick of perspective but Rousimar's right hand looks twice as big as his left. I'm quite glad that man is no longer in the UFC.

Remember that brief time when Todd Duffee was the future?

7 years ago Jean-Claude Van Damme and Hillary Swank were part of a show to wish him happy birthday.

And that article mentions a time when Beyonce, Usher and others played for the Gaddafi family.

I guess the lesson is that dictators like celebrities and celebrities like money.

i like that bruce does a respectful lil bow each time he's about to enter the octagon because he respects the ~bushido code~

I actually like this. Makes me wonder if he trained judo as a kid or something.

Yeah that’s a super cool thing I’ve always appreciated.

Buffer is good.

I've watched such an absurd quantity of UFC-- its astounding to me that I never noticed that.

I don't want to see either of those men fight ever again. I also don't want to hear them talk.
