Bob Gross: So moved Patty Nevue: Second Unanimous Ayes Dave Bishop: I entertain a motion to approval the minutes. Frank Silva: So moved Bob Gross: Second Unanimous Ayes Dave Bishop: Training update Trista Robischon: At the least meeting we had talked about training in October or November here in Salem. We have since pushed that back to March and doing more ABC training and having ABC certified officials come in and work with our officials and have it open to the public as well. Coaches, trainers and competitors can all come and participate and learn how our judges and referees are taught. It will give the opportunity for that transparency that we show everywhere else. We don’t have an exact date yet because we are waiting for the availability from the trainers but as soon as we have that determined we will make sure to let everyone know so they can get signed up and participate in those trainings. This will give our current officials the ability to get ABC certified. Up until now we have been using Ipro certification but this will give us the opportunity to have some diversity in training with different people presenting. We are planning on doing both MMA and Boxing on different dates because it would be different trainers coming in. Dave Bishop: Financial Report Jodi Knutson: We currently have our actuals through the end of September. October closes this coming Friday. Revenue is $163,397 and the total expenses are $450,469. We are projecting the end of the biennium revenue of $238,147 and total expenses of $724,911. The first page shows you monthly and the actuals are through September and the projections for the remaining months. We are projecting to spend $485,600 of our general fund to make up for the cost over the revenue for OSAC. Dave Bishop: How does this compare to last year? Jodi Knutson: Last year was close to million that we had to pick up from general fund due to more staff. Trista Robischon: Also, along with the statute change that we went through on January 1st that we receive more money for the officials fees from the promoter than we have in the past. Dave Bishop: Any further questions on the financial? Hearing none I motion to approve as presented. Patty Nevue: So moved. Bob Gross: Second Unanimous Ayes Dave Bishop: Proposed OAR Changes Trista Robischon: We have few OAR changes that we’ll be looking for your approval on. This will go through the normal rule making process where we will publish it on the Secretary of State bulletin on the 1st of December and then notification goes out to all interested parties and licensees and then there will be a public hearing scheduled and then once that is all done any changes that have been made along the way will be sent out to everyone before it becomes permanent. Minimum of 49 days is what it takes. It gives everyone the opportunity to have input into the process. (All proposed rule changes are attached at the end of the minutes) The first one is on Transgender Athletes. It is not something we’ve had before and is a brand new rule. We used a lot of the information from California. We’re following some of those industry leaders. In an effort to make sure we are maintaining the integrity of the competition, you’ll see that there is a lot of steps that go into determining what gender they would compete as. We also have the Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE). We have not had that policy in our past either. That one basically sets the standard for our process in approving someone to be able to use substances that are currently WADA prohibited. In there, we did put that testosterone replacement therapy is not an option for exemption unless under the transgender category. We have a medical advisory committee that would work on that and we’ve been offered assistance by the Association of Ringside Physicians to work on that as well if we would need additional information for any appeals that may come up. Tom Smarioo(public in attendance): So you that would cover therapy for testosterone? Trista Robischon: Yes, the testosterone replacement therapy. Tom Smarioo: You check for that? Trista Robischon: We currently do random testing and we’re looking at expanding that. Currently the tests we do are for the drug s of abuse and if it’s tests positive then we send it off for further testing but we’re also looking at having tests that go automatically to the lab for competitors. Tom Smarioo: The reason I ask is because in MMA, I saw that rampantly abused everywhere. Everyone needed testosterone therapy. In three months they’d have acne all over their back and muscles that they never even knew they had. I’m glad you’re doing that. Trista Robischon: This is the first step. In January would be the 2nd step where a more comprehensive drug prohibited with WADA standards would be put into effect. This is our addition to that to allow for competitors who can get an exemption for that if it’s medically necessary but not performance enhancing. Patty Nevue: And you said this has all been drafted through the standards. Trista Robischon: I’ve looked at California and Nevada’s, primarily, and drafted it through that in correlation with some of our physicians who have experience in that. Dr. deWeber, who works for us and also works with Washington, he does the Olympic testing and works for that committee and has experience in that which will help us in making it possible in Oregon. The next one is a change in the equipment section. A competitor came to us in boxing and our rules did not state that shoes were required. It says it in the unified rules but ours did not so we added boxing shoes as a requirement. The last one is weight classes for MMA. An amendment was made for those and is an addition. Finally, there were some suggestions by DOJ regarding our enforcement policies. There’ snot a lot of content but mainly just wording and fine tuning to that. I’ll put these in as in and if there are any amendments that need to be made we’ll go through the rule making process to make those. Josi McDaniel: All of these rule changes have been emailed to all of the commission members. Dave Bishop: Physician’s Conference Trista Robischon: At the end of October I went to Las Vegas for an Association of Ringside Physicians conference along with Dr. deWeber. It gave us a good opportunity to listen to all the presentations and work on some of the things we wanted to bring forward. We were able to talk more about the Transgender and the TUE process and a lot of the conference was focused on the concussion protocols and brain injury. Oregon was complimented by one of the doctors from New York who said he was very impressed with how much we’ve done in protecting the health and safety of competitors. We’ve implemented the same standards to amateurs as what we require for professionals. My thinking in doing that, along with other standards is that the amateurs should be protected as equally as the professionals. I was very happy with that and it gave us a great opportunity to work through some of those issues and it offered a lot of great knowledge about what is going on in the industry. Dave Bishop: Event Calendar Update Josi McDaniel: I didn’t print up a calendar because we only have one more event in the year and that is the Rumble 100 in Portland on December 22nd. It’s a pretty historic event for that promotion. We have already gotten a couple event applications for 2019. Two right now are for March 2nd but approval has not been granted yet due to a double event.

  • UFC FIGHT NIGHT on FOX Sports 1 with 1.78-Million Viewers – a Feat That the Charismatic Irishman Mcgregor Hopes to Top
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, Jan. 8, 2015 UFC® FIGHT NIGHT ON FOX SPORTS 1: MCGREGOR VS. SIVER FEATURES BATTLE OF TOP-RANKED FEATHERWEIGHTS Former Lightweight Champ Frankie Edger Makes Analyst Debut With Cormier and Melendez; Rogan and Goldberg Call Fights Three Specials Highlight Rising Star McGregor LOS ANGELES – FOX Sports 1 presents UFC® FIGHT NIGHT ON FOX SPORTS 1: MCGREGOR vs. SIVER on Sunday, Jan. 18 (10:00 PM ET), headlined by a clash of top-ranked featherweights, as No. 5 Conor McGregor (16-2) battles No. 10 Dennis Siver (22-9, 1NC). This highly anticipated bout caps off more than six hours of live coverage on FOX Sports 1 that evening. The UFC returns to Boston a little over a year after the record-setting UFC FIGHT NIGHT: SHOGUN vs. SONNEN, which featured the brash, trash talking light heavyweight Chael Sonnen defeating the former champion Shogun Rua with a surprise submission victory. Currently that show stands as the most-watched UFC FIGHT NIGHT on FOX Sports 1 with 1.78-million viewers – a feat that the charismatic Irishman McGregor hopes to top. McGregor (16-2, fighting out of Dublin, Ireland) has quickly climbed the ranks of the featherweight division with an undefeated record in the UFC that includes three first-round knockouts. A win over Siver (22-9, 1NC, fighting out of Mannheim, Germany) will see him rewarded with a title shot in 2015. To get past the 18-fight UFC veteran who has collected seven “Fight Night” bonus awards along the way, McGregor needs to be firing on all cylinders.
