The referee may call a time out, up to 3 minutes, to allow a fighter to recover after being fouled or to be inspected by a doctor. In the event of such a ‘time out’ the violating fighter must immediately go to the neutral corner as directed by the referee and remain there until otherwise instructed.
If a fighter accidentally fouls the opponent and his opponent cannot continue due to injury sustained by that foul, this fight will be deemed a NO CONTEST.
THIS DOES NOT RELATE TO BLATANT FOULS. If a fighter cannot continue after a blatant, malicious or reckless foul he will be deemed the victor. The referee shall consider such a circumstance upon merit if it occurs.
In the case that a fighter is deemed to be deliberately avoiding the fight, a warning or disqualification may be issued to the offending fighter at the referee’s discretion.
The referee may restart the fighters if they reach a stalemate and do not work to improve or finish. This is not limited to when fighters are on the ground. It encompasses all areas of the fight.
