Whether this falls under the Unified Rules, or can be decided by each state's athletic commission, what are the rules on how often a fighter can fight?
I thought that there was a mandatory 30 day period between bouts.
But if Leben is going to fight Akiyama, as reported, he will only have two weeks between fights.
So, is there a set time off, or is it decided on a bout by bout basis contingent on how much damage a fighter suffered in their last fight?
It is standard to give a fighter a thirty day medical suspension but it's not actually mandatory that I know of.

Ah, OK. I knew I heard something about 30 days being typical.
