Subject: Re: FORUM: COME TO LIFE/MMA GOING TO BE LEGAL Author: Brandon Weaver [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 17:41:37 11/20/07 Tue In reply to: Brandon Weaver 's message, "FORUM: COME TO LIFE/MMA GOING TO BE LEGAL" on 10:24:45 11/19/07 Mon Well Ses that is why we wanted to allow more liberal rules and time limits set by the states. That way sanctioning bodies can shorten rounds or disallow techniques they dont like, but wont be hampered by the state in doing so. As Jason said at the meeting, he did not want the state to define the sport, but to regulate it. To do that the more liberal the rules, the more the sanctioning bodies can do. IF the rules are very limiting the sanctioning bodies are sort of handcuffed with regards to round length or specific techniques allowed.
