Website	www.immaf.org

The International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF) was founded on 29 February 2012 as the international governing body for amateur Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Registered as a non-profit organisation under Swedish law, IMMAF serves as a democratic hub for national MMA federations and supports the growth of regulation and sport safety globally by aiding countries in the formation of federations where none exist.[3] IMMAF launched with support of market leader, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).[4][5][6] The UFC is among promotions sanctioned by federations under the IMMAF umbrella in countries that include Brazil and Sweden.[7][8][9][10]

Amateur vs. professional level athletes

The IMMAF considers an athlete to be on a professional level and thus not eligible for participation if he or she meets any one of the following criteria:

holds a Pro MMA or professional combat sports license issued by any sanctioning body
is under contract with a professional MMA or professional combat sport promotion
has received a fee for participating in an MMA or professional combat sports match
has participated in a professional MMA match under the Unified Rules of MMA or equivalent in the country where the bout took place
has competed against an opponent with a Pro MMA record at the time the bout took place
has a professional MMA fight record published anywhere
National amateur criteria do not hold for IMMAF international competition if it does not conform to the above stipulations

Suspension

A contestant who was knocked out as a result of a blow to the head, or whose match was stopped by the judge because of several tough blows to the head which have made him/her defenseless and unable to continue, shall be suspended from competition and sparring matches.

gollark: What's `test.json`?

gollark: I still think a configuration file would be better.

gollark: Since it is lazy it doesn't really matter though.

gollark: Yes, but if it wasn't for the laziness thing it would not be loaded.

gollark: Anyway, I only skimmed it and I'm not really familiar with the libraries, but I cannot see any *obvious* issues.
