1. The true identity of contestants;

2. The contestant's complete record, including the date and result of the last contest engaged in by the contestant and any fight or medical records obtained from commissions in other states (the Commission has the discretion to disregard non-sanctioned bouts, in the interests of the industry or the health and safety of combatants);

3. Whether contestants are under suspension from any unarmed combat regulatory commission; and

The Commission reserves the right to disapprove any matches that are deemed by the Commission to be mismatches.

C. The matchmaker's cost of obtaining any fight or medical records from regulatory bodies in other states shall be charged back to the promoter unless the promoter has supplied the Commission with the requisite information.

D. Matchmakers shall verify that all matched fighters, trainers, seconds, or other persons involved in a proposed match are licensed in accordance with these rules.
