ABC Puts Wyoming Commission On Blast
Has 'Several Concerns' Over Mishandling Of Unconscious Fighter At RFA 14
By Jesse Holland - www.mmamania.com

Sounds like the Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC) is not impressed by Wyoming's "Move along, nothing to see here" approach to fighter safety.

Tim Lueckenhoff, (R) Executive Director of the Missouri Office of Athletics and President of the Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC), is asking the same questions as everyone else in the mixed martial arts (MMA) community. Why did the events at Resurrection Fighting Alliance (RFA) - www.rfafighting.com 14 unfold, what went wrong, and how do we fix them moving forward?

The difference is, the ABC actually has the muscle to do something about it. To that end, there are some questions the Wyoming Commission is going to have to answer, after it brushed off criticism that it failed to act responsibly last Friday night (April 11, 2014) when Junior Maranhao lost consciousness between rounds, only to be sent back into the cage to finish his fight. See the video footage by clicking here.

In its response to MMAmania.com (read it), the commission branded Maranhao "safe" and insisted that "all necessary precautions were taken," despite the fact that the cageside physician never bothered to examine him. In today's (April 14, 2014) release from the ABC, Lueckenhoff wants to know why.

"As President of the ABC, I will personally be reaching out to the Wyoming Commission today. I will advise Wyoming to review their handling of this particular matter with ABC MMA Officials Training Chair Nick Lembo and ABC Medical Chair Dr. Sherry Wulkan. I will recommend that Wyoming makes all pertinent officials (ex. referee, Inspector, Commission Supervisor, Ringside Physician) available to discuss this matter in full. The ABC has several concerns about the handling of this incident and the later public statement issued by Wyoming."

Gulp.

The incident may have slipped through the cracks altogether; however, cageside commentators Michael Schiavello and Pat Miletich had a bird's-eye view of the action and called for a televised playback of Maranhao's collapse. Shortly thereafter, the doctor waltzed into the cage, asked the cornermen if their athlete was okay, and walked back out. Someone better have a good explanation as to why, especially in light of recent incidents like this one. Expect more information in the coming days on this still-developing story. Stay tuned.


RESPONSE To Matthew Roth Of mmamania.com From The Wyoming State Board of Mixed Martial Arts
Dear Mr. Roth,
Thank you for reaching out to the Board. As to your question/comments regarding Mr. Maranhao, he was thoroughly examined by a licensed physician after he fell off his stool between the 4th and 5th round of the RFA event in Cheyenne on April 11. He was also examined by his corner men and the referee. All parties, including Mr. Maranhao, believed and stated unequivocally that Mr. Maranhao was medically safe to and capable of finishing the fight. In fact, he fought well in the last round and lost in a close split decision. He was examined by a licensed physician after the bout as well and again found to have no neurological or other medical issues of concern. The Wyoming State Board of Mixed Martial Arts stands by our physicians and officials and has the utmost confidence in their ability to assess the medical status of Wyoming contestants. Safety is the Board's number one priority and all necessary precautions were taken at the April 11 RFA event to ensure that Mr. Maranhao was safe to continue fighting. Again, thank you for your interest in Wyoming MMA.
Sincerely, Dicky Shanor Chairman
Jerry Davis Vice-Chairman
Bryan Pedersen Secretary/Treasurer
Wyoming State Board of Mixed Martial Arts
