Several reasons you must stop a fight when the fighter states they can’t see. #1. You can’t determine the cause cageside or ringside. #2. The fighter can no longer protect himself. #3. A missed serious injury could be career-ending. #protectourfighters @ufc @MMA

If true, it’s a dangerous precedent & harmful to the fighters to have an unassigned non-commission promoter- employed physician step in to overrule an assigned commission physician. It enables promoter to interfere with the bout outcome. #fightersafety

The purpose of the weigh-in is to make certain the fighters are healthy prior to fight night. If they’re vomiting & ataxic (unsteady gait) for whatever reason it’s something requiring immediate evaluation by the ring physicians. #MMA #safetyfirst

#PEDs are prohibited at all times for a reason. It’s why year-round testing imperative in combat sports. Going on & off a drug-testing program to take them provides an unfair advantage & increases the inherent dangers fighters face. #MMA #boxing #CleanSport @UFC

Significant muscle mass can be maintained for months after stopping PEDs. Anabolics can lead to long-lasting increase in muscle cell nuclei long after stoppage AND a sustained physiological advantage especially with continued exercise. @TheTHF #cleansport #FairSport

This is wonderful of @_CSAC . Hope other jurisdictions follow.
Just in from CSAC: "the Combat Sports License Plate is now available to reserve. Anyone with a current California-registered vehicle ... is eligible to reserve the plate and show their support for retired boxers and mixed martial arts fighters who fought in California."

Unlike in #MMA, boxers almost never tap out. You will never hear a story like this one that could save the next fighter and teach us all there’s many kinds of bravery. @sammy_theheat podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Even without complaints, an immediate post fight head CT is necessary when a fighter has taken significant punishment. True for the winner as much as the loser.

Everyone likes to see the corner step in, but it is why there is a referee & doctors. If a ref brings the fighter to the physician at the start or during the round— there is a reason ! #comebackanotherday

Let a hurt fighter come back another day. If referee doesn’t have the courage, it’s why the drs are there!
