One of the most promising regulatory trends in the last year is numerous state, tribal, and provincial athletic commissions sharing key information with the industry about concussion and CTE, two of the biggest occupational hazards professional fighters face. It makes perfect sense that regulators, who are in charge of health and safety issues, share this crucial information with athletes.

Today the South Carolina State Athletic Commission became the latest commission to share posters co-created by the Association of Ringside Physicians and Fighting Foundation about these important topics.

Thank you, Jon Hollingsworth and the full South Carolina Athletic Commission for your leadership.

Dear reader, please join the fight. Print these posters out, and let’s get them posted in every MMA training facility in the world.
