Armando Garcia Resigns From CSAC
California State Athletic Commission Executive Officer Armando Garcia will formally resign from his position on November 18th at the commission’s next meeting, according to an agenda for the meeting on the CSAC’s official website.
The commission is also set to appoint an interim Executive Officer and form a search committee to find a replacement for Garcia at the November meeting.
Garcia’s unexpected resignation comes days after he confirmed that the CSAC had suspended the promoter licenses of ProElite (EliteXC) and King of the Cage, one of the final actions made during his tenure. He filled the post in mid-2005 and saw the state begin to regulate MMA later that year while its first event, Strikeforce: Shamrock vs. Gracie, took place on March 10, 2006 in San Jose and set a record for North American MMA attendance.
Garcia’s time at the post was not without controversy as the state also made headlines for the steroid suspensions of UFC lightweight champ Sean Sherk and EliteXC heavyweight champion Antonio Silva among others. Despite doubts about the testing procedures, both suspensions were ultimately upheld, though Sherk’s was significantly reduced.
No formal comment has yet been made on Garcia’s resignation.

Kris,
Not sure which ad, but I believe an ad on here set off my Norton (which I realize can be silly sometimes) telling me an intrusion had been blocked. Something about “NP xmas scan”.
Xmas scan? That’s very interesting. I suspect it was coincident to this page. Most likely you got scanned by another machine on your ISP since that is a way of looking for machines running a web server or a telnet server or something of the sort. I see nothing from this page that should have triggered that.
Could be a false positive from Norton too, I suppose.
Thanks for the info fellas, I’ll look into it.
I can’t find any information about it on any of the search engines so I’m presuming, as DBiz said, it was just a coincidence it happened while you were on MMAFrenzy.com. If it does happen again while you’re on the site let me know and I’ll investigate further.
This is probably much more than anyone wanted to know, but… http://linux.die.net/man/1/nmap
Thanks for that guys. DBiz, I will likely actually read that later, don’t have time right now. The only reason that made me think it may have come from an ad on here was that when my Norton popped up and told me that, the site quit loading, and I kept getting the pop up, like it kept trying to scan. Once I refreshed the page, it went away. On that computer I have ad blocker b/c of problems I had in the past with other ads on FaceBook setting off Norton, but it was turned off at the time because it interfered with some things that were legit on another website. On the computer that I’m on now, I’m not using Norton, so I likely won’t see anything about it unless I go back to the other machine and turn ad block off again.
My pleasure. I can’t always be a troll.
You’re right, DBiz. That was a lot more information than anyone wanted.
Wonder why he resigned so quickly. Usually for a reason related to personal lives, but I’m sure it will come out eventually.
Good I’m glad he is gone.
