The Nevada State Athletic Commission has approved instant replay for MMA yesterday. MMA officials will now be able to go back and take a second look to see if an injury (such as a missed eye poke) forced the bout's stoppage. Here is the final wording of the change.

"A referee at the conclusion of a contest or exhibition stopped immediately due to an injury to an unarmed combatant pursuant to NAC 467.718 and after making a decision, may view a replay if available in order to determine whether the injury in question was caused a legal blow or a foul."

The rule could take effect in as early as 30 days.
