MMA Fighting reports that the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) has approved the use of instant replay in MMA fights. Referees can now ask for an instant replay to decide if a foul happened at the end of the fight. This would help them decide if the fight should be ruled a no-contest, go to a technical decision or if a fighter will get disqualified. Referees can’t restart the fight after watching the footage, however.
