(a) Be examined by a physician at least 7 days before the date of the first bout in which the applicant, unarmed combatant or contestant plans to compete in the calendar year for which the license is or will be valid to establish the physical and mental fitness of the applicant, unarmed combatant or contestant for competition and provide a report of that examination to the Commission before that bout;
