There nothing is going to effect the NSAC since kizer is leaving.

Well he is probably going straight to becoming another Zuffa executive just like many before him. The main government law enforcement chief stepping down for an executive position with the main company he was policing. No conflict of interest there. No friendships & influence still back with the people he oversaw. Nah come on don't be a conspiracy theorist. What would former 2 former NSCA commissioners and their legal counsel now working for the UFC be conspiring to do??? Come on now.

Oh yeah, and then their is former-NSAC commissioner, new WSOF UFC-feeder org owner, and close personal friend of the Lorenzo Fertitta, Sig Rogich. It's crazy to think that all of these guys tied closely to the government regulator that own 2 orgs that it regulates and are great friends would ever chat together about their competitors & impediments the NSAC might have in their way. Bwahahahah! Twisted Evil

Who was the last #NSAC Exec Director before Kizer? Marc Ratner, who left the position to join #UFC as VP of Regulatory Affairs in 2006 #mma

I would say this is a good but who knows who is taking his place.

Well, I mean obviously Lorenzo & Rogich are running the commission. Dana screams out terrible decision and no one knows what that does to betting in Vegas & on the internet. Slight of hand. Betting the favorite with huge positions or a lot of small ones. A million small wins is as good as one for huge cake. There's somethings else going on there that I haven't quite figured out yet.

Keith Kizer resigns from NSAC Kizer-resignation

You won’t have Keith Kizer to kick around anymore; who will replace him?

Keith Kizer trends #1 on Twitter after resigning

Keith Kizer is gone as the Executive Director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, effective January 27th. Kizer, whose job security was ensured by politicos like Sig Rogich and casino power players like Lorenzo Fertitta, quietly exits after having a lousy 2013 campaign that brought a lot of negative attention against the Athletic Commission.
Government moves slowly. As we saw in how long it took for Che Guevara to “resign” from the Department of Consumer Affairs from his position with the California State Athletic Commission, it’s hard to imagine that Kizer’s resignation (organic or forced) wasn’t in the works for some time.
“There has to be an exit strategy here,” exclaimed one top combat sports regulator. It is believed that Kizer will be moving up the ladder in state work as a lawyer. In other words, he’s not going to be unemployed and he got a promotion/parachute in state government circles. He was plucked from the AG’s office because it’s next door to NSAC and the AG’s office handles background checks.
The fact is that Kizer, who absolutely loved his job at NSAC and would do anything to keep it, became a major political liability and headache for Governor Brian Sandoval, the Attorney General’s office, and the Rogich/Lorenzo/Ratner political clan. Kizer’s resignation comes on the heels of a recent gaming commission rejection for licensure of a close Lorenzo & Rogich ally in Tim Poster, who basically got swatted away for his gaming license request due to connections with shady individuals. Both Lorenzo & Rogich appeared in Carson City (!) on behalf of Poster and were humiliated in appearing at a meeting where Poster got destroyed for his past business connections & decisions.
You don’t have to be a weatherman to see which way the winds were blowing in the Rogich clan to understand what is happening now.
As for who will become the next Executive Director, the reality is that the choice will have to be someone that Lorenzo, Rogich, Ratner, and the AG’s office approves of. They went to Keith Kizer because he was from the AG’s office, so the best bet is that an unknown bureaucrat will take the position. If they do go for an outsider, however, Mike Mazzulli from Mohegan Sun would stick out as an obvious choice since he knows boxing and is actually competent.

@FightOpinion so it seems ufc has more influence than boxing promotors. is that correct?

FightOpinion ‏@FightOpinion 23m
@teamgDp The big fixer here is Sig Rogich & Sig (WSOF) is very close to Lorenzo (UFC). Politically, Zuffa has more power than Arum.

Did you know that:

- Armando Garcia (works for Station Casinos) was the head of the CSAC
- Another C level exec for Zuffa was the former counsel to the NSAC

Not sure if he's gone yet or not. If he does, I'm sure they would wait quite a while just for appearances.
