The Pete Suazo Utah Athletic Commission (PSUAC) is a regulatory body established by the Utah Professional Athletic Commission Act in 2001. It oversees and licenses professional unarmed combat sports such as boxing, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts in the state. The commission is named after the late Utah State Senator Eliud Pete Suazo, a boxing enthusiast and advocate for youth and minorities in the state.
PSUAC takes pride in supporting events and athletes in major unarmed combat sports and ensures compliance with rules, fees, and protocols. It requires licensing for promoters, managers, contestants, seconds, referees, and judges, with fees collected helping to offset the cost of regulating unarmed sports in Utah. The commission also mandates insurance coverage and sets criteria for licensing, appeals, and administrative suspensions to maintain the safety and integrity of the sport.
