My husband trains and he's the most disciplined person I know. This ban makes zero sense.
Boxing is way more dangerous than mma if you actually look at the head trauma stats. Just another politician trying to stay relevant.
Keep fighting the good fight. Mma is growing everywhere else, nm shouldn't be left behind in the stone age.
Ridiculous to compare professional athletes to animal fighting. These guys train for years to compete, it is a legit sport.
LEAVE MMA ALONE. People have the right to choose what to watch and what to practice. Stop trying to control everything in NM.

Senator jennings is way out of line. Cock fighting is illegal for a reason but comparing it to a sanctioned professional sport is just ignorant.
