every promotion has different rules for this and Nevada has its own too. but the common rule for grounded fighters is that if the hands hold the weight, it is somehow hard to recognize.
P.S. You would be amazed how I call (in my head) all the clients that call me and interrupt from forum reading
Some people simply don't understand the hierarchy and say stupid things. Dana White is a great businessman and he knows very well what is the best thing for his business. And he is the owner. So he can do anything. And i don't understand since when the owner of a fighting club/company talking like that had become not tolerable?
We are definitely living in a soft time now. People get butthurt with even the smallest of things. Anyway, i don't think this is going to be any problem for the UFC or dana white. And I also know that he has a lot of connections and he can just fix these things if he is actually in some kind of trouble.
dana made lots of enemies already and those issues in the past that were already buried i think are being dug up because he also chose to be the enemy of Biden's administration.
