The UFC will start using instant replay at their self-regulated, international events, and will encourage state commissions to come into the 90s and use replay.

it's a good sign that the UFC is willing to make a change to improve the sport overall.

Read entire article...

Video monitors have been in use for judges in Nevada-based UFC events since UFC 130, after the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) voted unanimously to allow monitors to be installed.

The screens are designed to afford each judge the opportunity to view the action in the limited instances where their direct line of sight is impaired or obstructed for whatever reason. The feed on the monitors will be the same shown on larger screens suspended around arenas at UFC events. They will carry no audio feed and go black in between rounds. There will be no replays, so judges are not reviewing repeated footage.

The screens are attached to a moveable arm next to each judges' seat. If a judge doesn't feel comfortable using the technology, each has the option to simply push it aside. All the costs associated with the technology fell on the UFC.

Making instant replay technology available to refs is a logical next step in the development of the sport's regulation.

It says they are not using them currently for instant replay.

I guess if they are going to use it for taking a better look at a foul.

 Before deducting points that would be good.   I am remembering a couple of koschek flops.     I do not think I would like judges using them.    Maybe a ref outside the cage watching live and with a monitor could be in control of deductingpoints for fouls, they could communicate with the ref in the ring after watching the various views
