It's time to refresh MMA: We follow the changing tide in the MMA Sport from July to August 2016 leading up to the Assoc of Boxing Commissions annual conference

The annual conference of the Association of Boxing Commissions is fast approaching.  This year it's going to be on the Vegas Strip.  I've never been and I am pretty excited.  I've reviewed the agenda and I think we are in for some great changes to our sport as a whole thanks in large part to the efforts of the ABC's newly elected Executive board where one of my long time acquaintances, Mike Mazzulli, presides over the organization.  Mazzulli is joined by other determined commissioners from across the country who share his passion for combat sports and finding the right balance between entertaining events and fighter safety.  Their focus is clearly on fighter Safety though as we can see by the shear number of agenda items related to medical topics and rules evaluation.  In the area where fighter safety overlaps events perceived entertainment value there will be presentations on keeping the playing field as level as possible with increasing knowledge on PED use and Dehydration risks.  As if that weren't enough to greatly impact the fight scene we move through today there will be legal experts speaking to the membership about what types of litigation might arise from the increase in regulation of those same issues and other issues that have cropped up in the last decade as a result of widespread adoption of regulations on a state to state level.
