Time Between Bouts This
new rule is to avoid a fighter, fighting on a "Different Promotional"
event less then 7 days after a fight or a fighter fighting too soon after being
defeated by a Knock Out or TKO by too many striking blows.
If the fighter is fighting in a TOURNAMENT within a 3 day time span and
does not lose by KO/TKO and is not cut or injured during their bout, the "Time
Between Bout" Rule does not apply.
6-08: Fighters in a TOURNAMENT MUST be checked by a Licensed MD
after EACH BOUT to assure they are in good health to continue to the next round.
TIME BETWEEN BOUTS
7 days, not counting the day that they fought.
Example 1: If you fight on Friday night the 1st, you cannot fight
again until the following weekend, Saturday the 8th.
Example 2: If you fight on Saturday night you are out until the
next Sunday (a full 7 days)
There are other reasons for this rule as well. These reasons will also
explain why a fighter can fight multiple times within 2-3 days if only on the
SAME event. Such as;
It stops a fighter from booking back to back fights where as the second
fight's promoter risks him not being on his event if injured the week before.
It gives the sanctioning bodies and the MMA Databases a chance to make sure
all the fighters results are made public. An amateur fighter could fight as a
pro and turn around and fight as an amateur a week later because the news had
not gotten out yet he fought pro.
