MORE NEWS!

Legislator in Nebraska stops nhb and MMA fights!

That's right folks. Some obviously bored legislator in Nebraska has introduced a bill in the Nebraska legislature to outlaw NHB/MMA fighting.

And what's more outrageous, several participants of a recent event in Lincoln were fined 150 dollars each for "third degree assault".

Third degree assault??? One can only wonder just Who is the victim of this "assault"?

According to State Senator Paul Hartnett, the author of this nonsense, "someone is going to get killed or maimed".

Perhaps, someone should ask this Sen. Hartnett how many people have been killed n Nhb or MMA as compared with pro boxing?

The facts: Fighters wear 4-ounce gloves and usually fight barefooted. They simply mix in a number of martial arts - jujitsu when down, karate and kick-boxing when standing, and other martial arts throughout the fights.

So what are Hartnett's real motives?
Interestingly enough, Sen. Hartnett is a former boxer. Do you think maybe he is really protecting some boxing promoters who don't want competition from another sport? In any event, let's hope the people of Nebraska won't let him get away this invasion of personal freedom.

Actually, there is hope. Attempts to ban Nhb and MMA tournaments was defeated in the State of Georgia, when they introduced a similar bill.

These fine organizations led the fight in Georgia to defeat this unwise legislation:
