N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. tit. 19, § 212.12 – Accidental and intentional fouls resulting in injury.

(a) If a contest or exhibition of professional mixed martial arts is stopped because of an accidental foul, the referee, with advice from the ringside physician, shall determine whether the combatant who has been fouled can continue or not. If the contestant's chance of winning has not been seriously jeopardized as a result of the foul, the referee may order that the contest or exhibition continue after a recuperative interval of not more than five minutes. Immediately after separating the contestants, the referee shall inform the commission's representative of a determination that the foul was accidental.
(b) If the referee determines that a contest or exhibition of professional mixed martial arts may not continue because of an injury suffered as the result of an accidental foul, the contest or exhibition shall be declared a no contest if the foul occurs during either of the following:
1. (1) the first two rounds of a scheduled three-round contest or exhibition; or
2. (2) the first three rounds of a scheduled five-round contest or exhibition.
(c) If an accidental foul renders a combatant unable to continue the contest or exhibition after the completed second round of a scheduled three-round contest or exhibition, or after the completed third round of a scheduled five-round contest or exhibition, the outcome shall be determined by scoring the completed rounds and the round during which the referee stops the contest or exhibition.
(d) If an injury inflicted by an accidental foul later becomes aggravated by fair blows and the referee orders the contest or exhibition stopped because of the injury, the outcome shall be determined by scoring the completed rounds and the round during which the referee stops the contest or exhibition. Incomplete rounds should be scored utilizing the same criteria as the scoring of other rounds up to the point said incomplete round is stopped.
(e) In the event of an injury sustained during competition by a foul that the referee determines to be intentional, the following shall take place:
1. (1) if the injury results in the immediate termination of the bout, the contestant causing the injury loses by disqualification;
2. (2) if the injury is evaluated and the bout is allowed to continue thereafter, the referee shall notify the scorekeeper to automatically deduct two points from the contestant who committed the foul;
3. (3) if the injury is evaluated and the bout is allowed to continue thereafter, but the injury causes the injured contestant to be unable to continue at a subsequent point in the contest, the injured contestant shall win by technical decision if he or she is ahead on the scorecards at the time the competition is ended due to the injury, however, if the injured contestant is even or behind on the score cards, the outcome of the bout shall be declared a technical draw.
(f) If an injury sustained during competition as a result of a legal maneuver is severe enough that the referee or ringside physician terminates a bout, the injured contestant shall lose by technical knockout. If a contestant injures himself or herself while attempting to intentionally foul his or her opponent, the referee shall not take any action in his or her favor, and the injury shall be treated in the same manner as an injury produced by a fair blow.
(g) If a combatant, during a round, loses control of a bodily function, i.e., vomits, urinates or defecates, due to a legal blow, the referee shall immediately stop the contest or exhibition, and the combatant shall lose by technical knockout (TKO) due to medical stoppage.
(h) If a combatant, during a round, loses control of a bodily function due to an accidental foul, the referee shall immediately stop the contest or exhibition, and:
1. (1) the contest or exhibition shall be declared a no contest if the foul occurs during:
  1. (i) the first two rounds of a scheduled three-round contest or exhibition; or
  2. (ii) the first three rounds of a scheduled five-round contest or exhibition;
2. (2) the outcome of the contest or exhibition shall be determined by scoring the completed rounds and the round during which the referee stops the contest or exhibition if the foul occurs after:
  1. (i) the completed second round of a three-round contest or exhibition; or
  2. (ii) the completed third round of a five-round contest or exhibition.
(i) If a combatant, during a round, loses control of a bodily function due to an intentional foul, the referee shall stop the contest or exhibition, and the offending combatant shall lose by disqualification.
(j) If a combatant, during the rest period between rounds, loses control of a bodily function, the ringside physician shall examine the combatant and determine his/her medical fitness to continue competing. If the ringside physician determines that the combatant is not medically fit to continue, the combatant shall lose by technical knockout (TKO) due to medical stoppage.
(k) If, at any time during the bout and in circumstances other than those described in subdivisions (g) through (j) of this section, in the determination of the referee, there is a risk that a combatant may come into contact the vomit, urine or fecal matter of an opponent who lost control of a bodily function, the referee shall immediately stop the contest or exhibition, and the opponent who lost control of a bodily function shall lose by TKO due to medical stoppage.
