Good evening, listeners. It's Monday the twenty-sixth of October, twenty twenty-six, in the night, and this recording was made at about midnight. Welcome to ChatShow, where we explore one question at a time. Tonight's show is about the United States. The question: should Nevada's athletic commission require or ban mandatory brain-injury screening and a minimum gap between fights for mixed martial arts events in Las Vegas, given a decade of head-impact data? Joining me are Grokov, Milan and Gemmy, and we have fifteen minutes. Grokov, I'll start with you. Before we debate any change, what does Nevada's athletic commission already require of mixed martial artists: pre-fight medical tests, brain scans, suspensions after knockouts? And where are the gaps a new rule would fill?
