Definite needed move is a unified commission in the Stats just for starters. Not sure how unified rules would be held up globally but as sport the commission-to-commission protocols should not be malleable and arbitrary. There are literally States who "borrow" commissions. One dead set rule set across the board. Smaller pet peeve but all judges need to be ring center and introduced exactly as the referee is. Put a face on the officials. HBO had a good run with it but today not so much. Instant replay needs to be a given also and automatic for KD's, cuts and other calls. The networks have everything to do with that as we've seen. And we need to bring Tecate and Top Rank girls back. "unofficial" fight night weight shaming needs to be a thing again. Bring back unofficial weights blasted out calling out the fatties. And no fighter should fight for a title unless fighting said division prior. Seems basic, but a fighter should have to wear the weight at least once before a title shot. The only wonder I have with same day weigh ins are that they have now made them their own pre fight event. Platforms hold full events for a press cycle. And whole generations have trained themselves to work weight or rehydration likewise. It would take some doing.
