On Saturday, the California State Athletic Commission issued temporary licenses for both promotions during a quarterly meeting , opening the door for slap fighting and bareknuckle boxing events to take place in the state. The commission unanimously voted 6-0 to approve the licensing. Following the meeting, CSAC executive officer Andy Foster confirmed to MMA Junkie that both promotions have been approved for one event each, per California Code of Regulations, Title 4, Section 533. The rule states the commission recognizes “that different forms of martial arts exist, notwithstanding any rule in this division to the contrary, the commission may, in its discretion, authorize alternate rules or provisions from time to time for full contact martial arts championships and exhibitions so long as the safety and welfare of the contestants and the public are not jeopardized.” Slap fighting has previously only been approved by the Nevada Athletic Commission.

Yet for several fighters, the real culprit was weight-cutting. Borg (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) may have been sick heading into the event, but his rush to shed pounds pushed him over the edge. “Get rid of the (expletive) weight cut, @UFC!” tweeted UFC interim lightweight title challenger Kevin Lee. “Guys are getting sick and ruining business
