(1)
The referee shall have sole discretion over whether a foul has occurred. The referee may use
available equipment, such as replay video, to determine whether a foul occurred, whether it
was intentional or accidental, and/or the appropriate action as a result of the foul. The referee
shall use the appropriate Association of Boxing Commission’s Unified Rules of Professional
Kickboxing, Unified Rules of Professional Muay Thai, the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts,
and/or an alternative rule set approved by the Commission for the specific contest when
determining if a combatant’s tactics constitute a foul.
(2)
Any tactics that are determined to be fouls shall result in a warning and/or loss of points as
determined by the referee.
(3)
In addition to or in lieu of losing points, any combatant guilty of any fouls that are applicable
to the combatant's sport may be disqualified. The combatant's purse may be withheld from
payment, and the combatant may be suspended. Disposition of the purse and the penalty to
be imposed upon the combatant shall be determined by action of the Commission.
