Connecticut Moves Towards MMA Sanctioning

Filed under: ,

Legislation has been introduced in the state of Connecticut to sanction mixed martial arts.

State representative Matt Lesser recently introduced the proposal and testified before the state legislature's Public Safety Committee. UFC vice president of government and regulatory affairs Marc Ratner also attended and spoke at a recent hearing at the state capitol.

The bill would regulate the sport while taxing ticket revenue. According to the proposal, five percent of an event's gross receipts would be paid to the state.
