If anything boxing should fall UNDER MMA... since boxing is a 1 dimensional sport I hope they dont make 100 weight classes. I think there should be 1 class every 15 pounds... which is just about how it is now in the UFC This is the first step toward MMA’s own governing body.

Sam, do you think the forming of this board is in response to their previous rulings, which these commissioners basically turned down? I certainly think this is a step in the right direction.

Regardless of any group that comes together and declares anything about the future of MMA ,if they don't have the power to influence sanctioning or de-sanctioning , do they really matter? By the way, After Big Tim beats Fedor,will they give Big Nog the WAMMA belt? Any word on how this group will affect sanctioning in the States (or provinces)?
