On February 6, 2012 the California State Athletic Commission unanimously approved CAMOs request to allow three minute rounds for fighters who have more than four verified MMA fights.! Fighters with more experience will be allowed to compete for longer periods of time in order to prepare themselves for professional competition which allows five minute rounds of competition. Longer rounds are anticipated to allow fighters more confidence to develop submission grappling skills which often require more time and are paramount to a fighter s long term success as a mixed martial artist.! Starting July 1, 2012, all fighters with four or more officially documented fights will be automatically scheduled for three rounds of three minute duration (3x3) provided that both competitors qualify for the advancement. In the event that one of the two fighters scheduled for a bout does not have four rounds of official experience, the bout will be scheduled for three rounds of two minute duration (3x2). Fighters that qualify for 3x3 rounds prior to July 1 may fight three minute rounds if they so elect. 3x3 ROUNDS 1. Jr Lugo (1-0-1) 2. Chris Schommer (3-0-0) 3. Thomas Fallon (3-0-0) 4.
