As you may be aware, the Commission recently adopted a final set of regulations. They may be accessed by logging on to the Commission’s website (www.mass.gov/dps/sac) or by clicking here. Here are but a few of the more noteworthy provisions that people tend to ask about:

-the “double weigh in” provisions were removed for MMA, but kept in place for boxing. (section 13.05(2) and (3)).

-filing dates were clarified:

-application for event license must be submitted by

the promoter at least 30 days prior to the event

(section 10.02(4))

-fight cards for approved events must be submitted by

the matchmaker at least 10 days prior to the event

(section 10.12(1))

-bout agreements between the promoter and fighter

must be filed with the Commission at least 3 days

prior to the event (section 9.04(1))

-all fighters on the fightcard must have submitted a

completed application for a fighter’s license at least 7

days prior to the event (section 10.12(1))

**These are the deadlines, but applicants are encouraged to submit applications as far in advance as possible.
