Scoring for mixed martial arts events in Nevada, New Jersey, California, and Florida is based on athletic-commission approved definitions and rules for striking ( blows with the hands, feet, knees, or elbows) and grappling (submission, choke holds, throws, or takedowns). No single discipline reigns.MANDATORY EQUIPMENT
