Iain Kidd spoke to ABC President Mike Mazzulli and the NJSACB about the criticized voting procedure, which changed the Unified Rules of MMA.
Earlier this month, the Association of Boxing Commissions held a package vote on six rule changes to the ABC’s Unified Rules of MMA. Four of the changes were uncontroversial, but two - the rule permitting heel kicks to the kidney area, and the rule changing the definition of a grounded opponent - were opposed by the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board (NJSACB).
All six rule changes were combined into a single yes or no vote.
