Hearing on Ali Act Revival announced for April 22nd

April 17, 2026 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

The U.S. Senate Committee for Commerce, Science, & Transportation will hold a hearing on the Ali Act Revival legislation that passed the House and makes its way to the Senate.

“Return to Your Corners: Have Federal Boxing Laws Gone the Distance or Slipped the Jab?” will include different voices from the hearings heard in Congress late last year. In this case, Oscar de la Hoya and Nico Ali Walsh will provide testimony to the Senate Subcommittee. Both oppose the law which was lobbied by TKO and supported by the Trump-favored Congress. It is likely to pass through a GOP-led suggested but now without a fight.

In addition to Walsh and the former Olympic champion, WWE’s Nick Khan and Timothy Shipman (President of Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports) will also testify.

The testimony is the first to be heard in the U.S. Senate and may lead to a potential vote this session in passing the bill.

They did this for Khabib in his last fight

Never seen such blatant corruption at a championship weigh in. Khamzat is one of the last to the scales and it takes all of 3 seconds for commission to shout “185” he doesn’t touch the scale at all, scale doesn’t even settle. Just gives him the weight. Insanity…

It is comical the UFC can be the most political sports organization in the history of American sports for clear aims (Ali Act, WH event) while promoting a candidate w/ the most extreme agenda in 50 years and when called to task for that help, pretend they're helpless observers.

Ali Wong's ex-husband got off easier than Russini's current husband.

Now that this Vrabel-Russini thing is full blown, will DC chill tomorrow on the #UFC weigh-in show with Sanko or no
