I wonder if Tanner will be sporting the beard in the cage.

Don't think he's allowed to

I know Kimbo and others have done it, but I believe I read in the rules during the “spike on the head” debate that the fighters must be cleanly shaven (shoven? shaved?).

I don’t know the link so can’t check it myself.

Here it is

New Jersey tho, so not sure it applies elsewhere.

13:46-24A.10 Appearance

(a) All contestants shall be cleanly shaven immediately prior to competition, except that a contestant may wear a closely cropped mustache.

(b) Hair shall be trimmed or tied back in such a manner as not to interfere with the vision of either contestant or cover any part of a contestant’s face.

(c) Jewelry or piercing accessories are prohibited during competition.

If the New Jersey rules specifically provide for no beards, how in the blazing blue flames of hades did Kimbo get away with coming in with that shrub hanging off his chin for the Primetime event?
