'I don't care wether shows are sanctioned providing they are run professionally.....HOW DOES ANYONE KNOW THAT THOUGH??..UNTIL ITS TOO LATE. I KNOW THAT WHEN I AM INVITED TO A SHOW SANCTIONED BY SAY THE WKA (FOR EXAMPLE) I CAN EXPECT CERTAIN THINGS TO BE PLACE AT THAT SHOW ON SAFETY AND THE WAY THEY SUPERVISE THINGS,. I DO NOT WANT TO ASK IF THOSE THINGS ARE THERE, IF I HAVE TO THEN I DON'T GO. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.

I don't personally see what extra a sanctioning body brings to a show...SEE ABOVE. IN THE WEEK AFTER SOMEONE DIED AT A COMBAT SPORT EVENT NO FURTHER NEEDS TO BE SAID


They all have their own agendas and don't work together to move the sport forward...YEP FAIR POINT, HARD TO ARGUE WITH IF HONEST, BUT I STILL SAY THEY ARE DOING MORE FOR THE SPORT THAN THOSE WHO HAVE THEIR OWN BRANDED SHOWS AND LETS GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, THE RATHER REASON PEOPLE DON'T SANCTION IS MONEY. THEY WONT PAY THE MONEY, COS THEY CAN GET THEIR MATES TO JUDGE, THEY CAN GET SECOND RATE MEDICS, ETC ETC..


If the sanctioning bodies dropped the politics and all worked towards the same goal then maybe they would be taken more seriously.'...POLITICS MAKES THE WORLD RUN, IT CAN'T BE HELPED..BUT AS SAID ABOVE STILL NOT A REASON TO NOT DO IT PROPERLY
