April 2, the City of Vancouver Standing Committee received a report from staff, companies, and citizens that asked the council to either ban mixed martial arts or regulate it. This major decision can lead to the acceptance of this praised fighting world in B.Cs most popular city, and the extensive amount of profit that would follow the decision.
Many other cities all over the world have embraced this culture of organized fights, rather than banned it or made it illegal. A divined sport which is a mix of kickboxing, boxing, wrestling, and many other world known martial arts types create some of the most exciting combat sports in the world. “The attempt to kill with no circumstances", is a huge misconception of many people that clearly don't understand or watch the sport. First of all there are many rules, referees, and complex situations that have all been looked at by the UFC committee to make sure all fighters are safe and in a safe place.
There has never been a death in the Octagon or an injury more serious than a broken bone.With the economic problems this country is going through many wonder why this multi-million dollar business will not reach our doors in Vancouver."And this sport will get bigger and bigger. It will bring millions upon millions of dollars here to Tennessee every year. It's a wonderful sport but more importantly, it's going to bring a lot of money to the economy." Deciding against the idea of having this sport be presented in Vancouver, our city has given the UFC capable abilities to spawn a new home in Tennessee. An event which generated $626,000 at the gate has not been accepted by our city of Vancouver, which has just left questions on what threat this might bring, and what are we really losing with this decision.
Finally the UFC is not the circus they come in one night, and leave without any problems, just memories of the fights that had taken place. In my eyes the UFC is a great sport, and something we can really build around in Vancouver. Not only for the money, have the fans, but to give a wider range of great activities in our great city of Vancouver.
