Nevada State Athletic Commission to Vote On MMA Instant Replay On August 19
The Nevada State Athletic Commission will be voting on the implementation of instant replay in mixed martial arts on August 19.
The NSAC posted the following proposal for instant replay on its official website:
“Sec. 7. NAC 467.682 is hereby amended to read as follows:
A referee may view a replay, if available, at the conclusion of a contest or exhibition stopped immediately due to an injury to an unarmed combatant pursuant to NAC 467.718 in order to determine whether the injury in question was caused by a legal blow or a foul.
(a) If the determination is made that the injury was the result of a legal blow, the injured unarmed combatant shall be determined to have lost the contest via technical knockout.
(b) If the determination is made that the injury was the result of a foul, it must be determined whether the foul was intentional or accidental.
(1) If deemed intentional, the outcome of the contest shall be determined in accord with NAC 467.698; or
(2) If deemed accidental, the outcome of the contest shall be determined in accord with NAC 467.702 or 467.7966.”
The instant replay, although limited, will assist referees in determining whether a fight-ending strike was legal or not, as should’ve been the case during the recent Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic vs. Mustapha Al-Turk match at UFC 99.
