10. Some MMA fighters fight as an Amateur one weekend, and a Pro the next, and back as an Amateur the next weekend. This cannot happen. The ISCF Sanctioned Promoter, Matchmaker and the ISCF Event Representative are the ones that need to assure it does not happen on an ISCF Sanctioned event. There are some people that feel Amateur MMA needs to be banned for this very issue. However the ISCF sees the problem as accountability. ALL PROMOTERS and or MATCHMAKERS Are Required to assure that each submitted and booked AMATEUR Fighter is indeed an AMATEUR fighter. A Fighter who has fought as a Pro Fighter in ANY Fight Sport cannot fight as an Amateur on an ISCF Sanctioned Event. CLICK HERE.
    • Promoters are required to assure an Amateur Fighter Booked on their event is not listed in any Database as having a PRO BOUT.
      • Two Databases To Check:
        • MMA: mixedmartialarts.com
