Texas to discuss adoption of CSAC’s 10-point weight-cutting reform plan

The Texas Combative Sports Program will discuss the California State Athletic Commission’s (CSAC) 10-point weight-cutting reform plan at its advisory board meeting Friday, program director Greg Alvarez told MMA Fighting on Monday.

The CSAC plan includes the additional weight classes approved by the Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports (ABC); increased fines for fighters who miss weight; giving doctors the power to approve the weight class of a fighter; fight-day weight checks; and hydration and specific gravity testing.

Alvarez said the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) could change its rules to allow for the 10-point plan without the regulations going through the state legislature. It would take at least 120 days to implement if approved, Alvarez said.

And hopefully adopted world wide eventually. It's a step in the right direction, good move!

I gather a weight cut done correctly would only benefit the fighter? Less prone to getting knocked out, better cardio, clarity and concentration.
And if extreme weight cutting can effect you later on in your life, then there's another reason to do it right
