ABC medical committee will recommend weight-cutting reform plan to ABC body

There is a push to expand a weight-cutting reform plan outside the state where it originated.

The Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports (ABC) medical committee voted this week to recommend a sweeping California weight-cutting plan to the full ABC body at the annual conference in July, MMA Fighting has learned.

California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) executive officer Andy Foster and his team wrote up a 10-point plan which attempts to curtail severe dehydration and extreme weight cutting earlier this month. Foster presented it to the CSAC medical advisory committee last week and will bring it up for a vote at the next commission meeting May 16.
