Kansas City, MO – The Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC) is pleased to announce that they have selected the official Mixed Martial Arts ( MMA) record keeper.

At the ABC annual general meeting last year in Florida a committee was appointed by President Tim Lueckenhoff whose mandate was to interview candidates who would be interested in becoming the official record keeper, and ultimately decide on a viable candidate.

The record keeper would be responsible for maintaining a database composed of factual and verified fighting records as well as fighter suspensions and fighter information. This information is vital to the administration of the sport and goes a long way in increasing the professionalism of the sport.

After months of screening applicants, the committee recently met in Kansas City, Missouri to interview the finalists.

The ABC has selected partners Kirik Jenness and Gabriel Smallman of MMA, LLC. This group is better known for running MMA.tv one of the premier MMA sites commonly known as “the underground” where MMA community members have posted on forums throughout the last decade on various topics relating to MMA.

The partnership between the ABC and both Jenness and Smallman will ensure that accurate records are maintained for years to come, suspensions are documented, and fighters are identified. This is so that Commissions can be vigilant with the safety of all the athletes which is their mandate.
