MMA IN TN HAS BEEN LEGALIZED!!!!!!!!

July 1, 2008, MMA will officially be legal in Tennessee, once Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen signs the bill. he next step is for the state to put together an athletic commission, which will then decide on the final rules and regulations, fees and requirements to hold events. The Commission must first be in place before a legal, sanctioned MMA event can be held in Tennessee.
