The video outlines new participant requirements under HB26-1194: "All participants are required to be 18 years of age, as a variance for Director approval was removed from rule," and "All participants must obtain a license rather than just professionals."
Weigh-in procedures were tightened: weigh-ins must take place at a Director-approved time and place; only professionals are allotted an extra hour to make weight with an approved physician on site; all participants must submit to a secondary weigh-in at any time prior to a bout. Professionals who miss weight will forfeit 30 percent of their purse and associated bonuses, and elimination bouts will be canceled if a fighter misses weight by more than one pound.
