even more update August 3, 2016 – Today the ABC unanimously agreed to objective for January 1, 2017 as the target date for each commission to get these new guidelines in force
________________________________
Update – The guidelines voted on were revised at the last minute and replaced the Camiseta FC Porto word “damage” to “impact” in the revised judging criteria.
The full rule-set went to vote and passed unanimously with the exception of new jersey objecting and Tennessee abstaining. For those interested I have obtained a copy of an e-mail from Nick Lembo detailing new Jersey’s opposition to the rules

It is worth noting that this near unanimous vote in and of itself does Camiseta Wolverhampton Wanderers nothing to how MMA is regulated. The ABC’s position is little much more than a political statement. It is up to each individual athletic commission to overhaul their policies to adopt these changes.
Given new Jersey’s strong opposition it is unlikely they will be adopting these. Of note, my home Province, British Camiseta Atalanta BC Columbia, by policy automatically follows new Jersey’s lead so BC will need to expressly overhaul their regulations, just as every other state and Province, ought to they choose to adopt these changes.

Today the association of Boxing Commissions is voting on several changes to the Unified guidelines of MMA.
The changes include an overhaul of judging criteria (detailed here) along with the below changes. I apologize for the sideways photo.
I will update this short article once the votes are in.
