"As the event is being held on federal property, there is no requirement for the UFC to select a state athletic commission to oversee the event."
"The UFC expresses its commitment to ensuring that this event is among the most thoroughly regulated in the history of the sport and has requested that the ABC serve as an independent third party."
"UFC is the gold standard for athlete health and safety in combat sports - bar none, and we will absolutely bring those same industry leading standards to this incredible, unique event at the White House."
"The decision to run with the ABC has left the DC Combat Sports Commission crying foul."
The UFC announced that the Association of Boxing Commissions will oversee the 'Freedom 250' event at the White House on June 14. This decision has raised concerns as the DC commission was bypassed. Timothy Shipman from the ABC stated that federal property regulations allow this choice. The UFC emphasized its commitment to high regulatory standards, including medical examinations and safety protocols. UFC officials expressed confidence in maintaining athlete health and safety, thanking the ABC for their involvement in ensuring competitive integrity.
