Legislation in SC Aimed at Allowing MMA

[Patrick]

Here's word on another bill. This time in South Carolina.

South Carolina could join its neighbors in allowing mixed martial arts contests under legislation up for discussion next week by a Senate panel.

Proponents say the increasingly popular combative sport, which combines elements of karate, judo, jujitsu and kickboxing, would bring money and tourists to the Palmetto State. They contend mixed martial arts has evolved from its no-holds-barred past to a regulated sport broadcast on TV, and South Carolina should share in the wealth.

This is becoming a theme, it seems. It is nice to see the local governments bring this up more and more.
