Nevada State Athletic Commission

The Nevada State Athletic Commission (also known as the Nevada Athletic Commission or NSAC)^[1] regulates all contests and exhibitions of unarmed combat within the state of Nevada, including licensure and supervision of promoters, boxers, kickboxers, mixed martial arts fighters, seconds, ring officials, managers, and matchmakers. The commission is the final authority on licensing matters, having the ability to approve, deny, revoke, or suspend all licenses for unarmed combat.

The commission was established in 1941.^[2] It has several times been criticized for its conduct and sentences, and has several times been labelled a "kangaroo court".^[3]^[4]

^ The legal name of this body is the Nevada Athletic Commission, as defined in Chapter 467 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. However, the name of "Nevada State Athletic Commission" is also used by this body (including on its own web site), and U.S. sports media generally use that name.
