We’re Going Back To Cali, Cali: Combat Sports Are Back

July 23, 2020 by Christopher James

The long-awaited return of both boxing and mixed martial arts competition may resume in California after the state athletic commission approved new safety regulations that will be implemented for the coronavirus pandemic.

The state athletic commission will however require a “quarantine bubble” around participants in every event, including referees and judges. The events also, unfortunately, must be held without fans. Some states are allowing a reduced capacity of fans, usually somewhere between 25 and 50% than what a venue normally holds.

Based on the history of combat sports competition in California and how they handle business, I’m guessing that they’re going to be strict protocols in place and there will be no room for error. The regional level shows probably will not be able to afford to host events at this time.

While no specifics as far as testing protocols are concerned were revealed.  I’m sure that the full guidelines for hosting any sanctioned combat sport in California will be made public in the coming days.
