The Massachusetts State Athletic Commission said it will look into modifying its rules following a controversial amateur bout that took place in April.
“The commission agreed it deserves careful examination,” Terrel Harris, a spokesperson for the MSAC, on Friday wrote in an email to MMAjunkie.com.
At a meeting planned for October, the commission’s medical advisory board is expected to offer an opinion on whether a “per se rule” is needed to immediately end matches in which a fighter loses consciousness from a submission hold.
