Illinois legalizes MMA

by

Illinois recently became the latest state to legalize the sport of mixed martial arts.

Gov. Rod Blagojevich signed the legislation this week, and the sport will be legal as of June 1, 2008.

Don’t be surprised if promoters trip over each other to book shows in Chicago in the second half of next year.
