UFC Thinking Of Using Instant Replay
Wednesday, 17 June 2009 21:00

After the controversial bout between Mirko Cro Cop and Mustapha Al-Turk (poke to the eye that resulted in a TKO victory for Cro Cop), the UFC is now putting some serious thought into the implementation and use of an instant replay system, a choice that has many left with mixed emotions.

 

Speaking to MMA Junkie, Keith Kizer of the Nevada State Athletic Commission had this to say about it:

 

“We’re trying to find out if there is a way to do limited instant replay.  We’re hoping to find a way to do that.”

 

There are still several areas of concern regarding the use, when will it take affect?  During or after fights?  Will a time out be called by referees or from an external source?  Stopping a fight for even a short period of time can hinder the strategy of any MMA fighter; as a result, look for a hybrid system to be implemented whereby use is restricted only to after the outcome of the fight with mandatory rematches and / or suspensions.
