The Nevada State Athletic Commission (Commission) regulates all contests or exhibitions of unarmed combat, including the licensure and supervision of promoters, boxers, mixed martial artists, kick boxers, seconds, ring officials, managers and matchmakers. The Nevada Athletic Commission was established by an act of the Nevada Legislature in 1941. Since that time, the Commission has regulated professional unarmed combat (e.g., boxing, kick boxing and mixed martial arts) in Nevada. The conduct and regulation of unarmed combat in Nevada are governed by NRS 467 and NAC 467. The Commission administers the state laws and regulations governing unarmed combat for the protection of the public and to ensure the health and safety of the contestants.
