    I have been told that fighters from the pro leagues fight in this that should not be in it. Is this true? and is it strict about letting them in?

    The rules are pretty clear on it:
    Competitors Disallowed Entry:

    In the interest of maintaining safety and fairness within amateur competition, competitors who have fought in two or more 'professional' Mixed-Martial Arts bouts within the last twelve months will not be permitted to compete in League matches. For the sake of this rule, the term 'professional bout' will be deemed to describe a bout in which head strikes are permitted both whilst standing AND on the ground. Amateur' bouts (head strikes permitted standing but not whilst on the ground) are not considered as a 'professional bout' for the sake of this exclusion.

    Furthermore, there is a "rookie clause" - first timers only fight other first timers to further protect competitors.
