Do mma fighters have to register their hands just like boxers do?

I'm an amateur boxer and I had to get a boxing license with the aba. Do mma fighters do that as well?

That's just a silly rumor that's been around forever.

You did not "register your hands" with the ABA, you just registered as a member so that you could participate in sanctioned competitions.

Has nothing to do with "registering your hands".

There is no registering your hands and feet. Boxers register for a license to compete. MMA fighters register as well but not there hands and feet. Thats a silly rumor you hear as kids from someone saying they are all crazy trained as a lethal weapon. Which tends to be a tell all on whos lying.

Getting a boxing license is not the same as "registing your hands". That's a silly urban legend that's been going around. You know that boxers get a harder punishment if they punch someone then a normal person. Not true.

LOL Your boxing license doesn't register your hands, per se, they register you as a fighter so that your results (and head injuries) can be recorded, and so that you can fight in sanctioned events and be insured.

The same is true in MMA.

I see why you're an Amateur Boxer.

Depend on the federation in where they are fighting in

all wat I know that UFC used to do so till yr 2006 ,I am not sure anyway
