Effective immediately, boxing, kickboxing and mixed martial arts pro debut fighters must provide proof of five (5) amateur competitions prior to competing in the professional arena. Proof of the amateur competition, will consist of verification from an amateur sanctioning organization. Proof will need to be submitted with the pro debut form and bout card. The Executive Director will require the proof of competitions of the pro-debut fighter in order to evaluate his/her bout information prior to the scheduled event.
Is there an appeals for extensive training background? Lets say Im a BJJ bb, with 5 years of mma training. Do I really need to fight 5 other guys who might have trained for 6 months before being allowed to fight pro?
My question is do you need five fights to be all in one or the other or can you have say 3 kickboxing and 2 MMA to add to 5 fights or do they need to be all MMA ?
