Since when do you have to be licensed to coach?
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
You have to be licensed to be a "second"

Wtf?
I don’t think they can do that. If you don’t have to be licensed to train, how in the world are you going to tell people you have to be licensed to coach? Just find some fighters who are in the US and aren’t licensed, that train other people. See if Josh Barnett has given a seminar in the US in the past year. I’m sure there are examples.
Seems to me like Kizer is doing this to spite Chael for lying. Can anyone confirm the rules?
Hard core MMA fan since UFC 99
This isn’t unprecedented. Sonnen would be cornering fighters and I’m almost certain that the NSAC banned Nick Diaz from cornering Nate at the TUF Finale in 2007 when Nick was suspended after the Gomi fight.
Kiser has have no power to stop Sonnen from training fighters but it’d look bad on the UFC’s end if they tried to explain during the season why Sonnen was training fighters but not cornering them.
I thought that it was the UFC that banned Diaz? Or atleast thats what I thought Nate said after his fight, I could be wrong though…
Huh?
The fights that he would be cornering on TUF aren’t even “real” fights right? Aren’t they considered exhibition fights? Seems like BS to me.
They are overseen by the commission

I don’t know the rules in Nevada because it’s not anything I’ve ever looked into, but it is a fact that you have to be licensed in California just to take part in sparring. I doubt there is a rule in Nevada that you have to be licensed to corner fighters though.

It is correct

But I thought the TUF fights weren't even sanctioned by the athletic commissions...
Do those qualify as the mentioned “exhibitions” in the rules?
Fitch's only fan. It's lonely, being me.
Still have to be licensed
Dana/Tito was an exhibition
