Video explained by Erik Magraken

Two new rules for MMA fighters have just been approved: 1. If an accidental foul results in a cut, cutmen/cutwomen are now allowed to enter the ring and treat the wound 2. During an eye poke, fighters are given a cold compress to use for 60/90 seconds before doctors come in to check the eye, allowing recovery time

Copy of the full new rules here for those interested -

@erikmagraken Has anyone done more for fighter welfare than this guy/

Thanks for the RT. Always appreciated.

@erikmagraken Bravo! Great new rule. Rare commission W

@erikmagraken Well explained!

@PhilJonesNFL @erikmagraken If you want to fix MMA, stop letting fighters punch somebody in the face when their already knocked out on the ground

@erikmagraken Why is a boxing association making mma rules + what does this even mean because all the mma orgs have different rules

@erikmagraken They should vote in new gloves

@erikmagraken An illegal eye poke should be WEIGHED towards a pint deduction. The ref should have to actively decided not to give the point because it was so obviously accidental. - and if any kind of injury is deemed to have been caused they can give 2points. After which it continues.
