harsh modality, the examining ringside physician or other medical personnel may
refuse to medically certify the competitor to participate in an event and may recommend
disciplinary action be imposed by the Superintendent.

or mixed martial arts competitor who fails to make the weight contractually agreed
upon in his or her bout agreement forfeits 20% of his or her purse to his or her

medical personnel agrees otherwise.
(d) The ringside physician
or other medical personnel conducting the pre-fight physical examination shall determine
the fitness of the boxing or mixed martial arts competitor to compete in the event
based on standards recommended by the Medical Advisory Committee and adopted by
