As it still continues to grow and gain nationwide approval, MMA is still not legalized in 5 states. But another milestone was surpassed on Thursday, March 8, 2012 as Wyoming became the 45th state to legalize Mixed Martial Arts.Governor Matt Mead signed House Bill 87 into law.
The bill was unanimously approved by both the state's Senate and House of Representatives. It basically outlines the creation of a state mixed martial arts board to oversee and regulate MMA matches. MMA wasn't actually illegal in Wyoming, it just wasn't regulated so therefore the bouts held in Wyoming weren't recognized by other states on a fighters official record.
After West Virginia legalized it 11 months earlier, it left Connecticut, New York, Alaska, Vermont and Wyoming.......Well you can "X" Wyoming off that list. They've finally come to their senses.
So with that being said, I wonder if any of our favorites ever loss in Wyoming. Who's record is about to suffer due to this signing..... TST will give an update on this one..... It should be interesting.
