Emergency Rule Review – ERR20-048 Legislative Service Office AGENCY: Board of Mixed Martial Arts DATE SUBMITTED: June 17, 2020 DATE FILED WITH SECRETARY OF STATE: June 17, 2020 NOTE: Under W.S. 16-3-103(b), temporary emergency rules are valid for not more than 120 days after the date of filing. SUBJECT: Ch 1. Definitions and General rules; Ch. 2 requirements for Contestants in All Bouts; Ch. 3 Requirements for Bout Approval; Ch. 7 requirements for Promoters; Ch. 11 Requirements for Officials; Ch. 15 Bare Knuckle Fighting; Ch. 16 Lethwei; Ch. 17 Professional Boxing NATURE OF RULES: Legislative, Procedural STATUTORY AUTHORITY: 33-48-111 SUMMARY OF RULES: The rules implement legislation passed in the 2020 budget session. The legislation reconstitutes the State Board of Mixed Martial Arts (Board) as the Wyoming Combat Sports Commission (Commission) and adds boxing as a regulated sport under Commission rules. The rules replace references to the "Board" and "Board Representative" with references to the "Commission" and "Commission Representative" and amend several provisions to incorporate boxing into the existing regulatory framework. The rules create a requirement that all professional boxing participants be registered in accordance with federal law, create a requirement that a boxing contestant be 'safe to compete' as required for kickboxing or mixed martial arts participants, create a boxing match permit fee, set Commission Representative payments for boxing and lethwei events, allow for the Commission to determine a referee is qualified in lieu of one year of professional experience, amend knockdown count provisions to include boxing, authorize the referee to stop the bout to protect the heath or safety of either contestant, require the referee to wipe debris off a contestant's glove if the contest's gloves contact the floor, amend fouls and deductions for boxing bouts and allow for Commission Representative approval to allow a contestant to compete less than thirty days following a previous bout. A new chapter is also created to regulate boxing specifically. The new chapter creates bout requirements, tactics deemed to be fouls and required boxing specific equipment. /s/ Kayla Spencer____________.

ONE Championship Kicks Off ONE: HEROES OF HONOR in Manila with Press Conference 17 April 2018 – Manila, Philippines: Asia’s premier martial arts organization, ONE Championship, is back in Manila for its second of four shows in 2018. In a press conference held at the Grand Ballroom of the City of Dreams in Manila, the promotion kicked off its latest event, ONE: HEROES OF HONOR, which is set for Friday, 20 April, at the Mall of Asia Arena. Photos of the event can be downloaded here. In attendance were Chairman and CEO of ONE Championship, Chatri Sityodtong, main event combatants Kevin “The Silencer” Belingon of Baguio City, Philippines and Andrew Leone of Cortland, New York, USA, global kickboxing superstar Giorgio “The Doctor” Petrosyan and opponent ‘Smokin’ Jo Nattawut of Thailand, among others. Belingon (17-5), who is currently riding a four-bout winning streak, takes on former bantamweight world title challenger Leone (8-3) in a contest with huge title implications. Both Belingon and Leone are seeking a rematch against reigning ONE Bantamweight World Champion Bibiano “The Flash” Fernandes, but will have to go through each other to secure it. “I know Andrew Leone is a tough opponent, and I need to be at my best to win. It’s going to be one of my biggest matches to date,” said Belingon. “I am very thankful to ONE Championship for allowing me to be a part of this historic event. I can’t leave anything to chance. I have to give another great performance. Beating Leone would be the next step to the title.” Belingon’s opponent Leone also knows what’s at stake in this matchup, and he isn’t taking the Filipino lightly by any means.

Jones Mahidol University International College Pawinpon Theerawong Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kingdom of Thailand Abstract: Public and cultural diplomacy are tools for states to enhance their soft power in international affairs. Sports diplomacy is becoming an increasingly important arena for states to enhance their image among foreign publics and increase their country’s visibility via the attractiveness of their cultural asset. This article explores Thailand’s cultural diplomacy by the support given by the Thai state in order to make Muay Thai (Thai boxing) an official Olympic sport. The role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Muay Thai athletes will be examined to find how the Thai state is attempting to increase its soft power by cultural sport diplomacy. Keywords: Thai boxing, Thailand diplomacy, Public diplomacy, Cultural diplomacy, Soft power, Sports diplomacy 1. Introduction Muay Thai, also known as Thai boxing, has gained a global admiration and recognition as the national martial art and sport of Thailand. More than its fascinating combat techniques, Muay Thai is enriched with its cultural values, fabricated along the history of the Thai nation. Today, Muay Thai has evolved from its origin of battlefield and obtained the utilitarian multiplicity in fitness, entertainment, sport, self-defence, and so on, not only in its country of origin but worldwide. It is also recognised by the Thai state as a 99 Muay Thai Diplomacy: Thailand’s Soft Power Through Public Diplomacy source of soft power, thus, used as a tool for cultural diplomacy (Sukontasap, 2018).
