MANDATORY ISCF AMATEUR Matchmaking Rules
"Amateur Fighter Membership & Background Checking."

Some MMA fighters fight as an Amateur one weekend, and a Pro the next, and back as an Amateur the next weekend. This cannot happen. The ISCF Sanctioned Promoter, Matchmaker and the ISCF Event Representative are the ones that need to assure it does not happen on an ISCF Sanctioned event. There are some people that feel Amateur MMA needs to be banned for this very issue. We here at the ISCF feel instead, that it needs accountability.

The ISCF has made it MANDATORY that ALL AMATEUR FIGHTERS on an ISCF Sanctioned Event Must Be ISCF Fighting Members and NOT Professional Fighters.

ISCF Sanctioned promoters & Matchmakers:

1. ALL ISCF Sanctioned Amateur MMA Promoters are required to send in their Amateur Fighter list a minimum of "5" Days Prior to their scheduled event.
   • Some fighters on this list may not be matched up as of yet, however, to get them approved to fight, they need to be listed on this pre-fight list which is listed below each event listing on the ISCF Upcoming Events Page.
     
     
2. ALL PROMOTERS and or MATCHMAKERS Are Required to assure that each submitted and booked AMATEUR Fighter is indeed an AMATEUR fighter. This will be confirmed or denied by checking "SEVERAL" fighter data bases available to the ISCF Promoters and Matchmakers as noted below.
   • ISCF Rankings
     • Check to see if the fighter is listed as an Amateur or Pro.
