Mixed martial arts in Ontario
Mixed martial arts (MMA) in Ontario has been considered illegal until August 14, 2010, when the Ontario government announced that they would be moving forward to allow professional mixed martial arts in the province.〔Ontario Ministry of Consumer Services, ("Mixed Martial Arts In Ontario" ), Accessed on July 16, 2011〕 This was seen as a sudden change in direction as the government has been reluctant to allow MMA events to be held. This paved the way for the largest regulated professional MMA event, UFC 129, which was held on April 30, 2011 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto.
==Background==
In years previous, when asked about legalizing MMA in Ontario, Premier Dalton McGuinty often dismissed the idea as it was stated ''“not a priority for Ontario families”''.〔The Canadian Press, ("Ontario to legalize MMA starting in 2011" ), Sportsnet.ca, Accessed on July 16, 2011〕 However, due to recent overwhelming success of the UFC shows held in Montreal and British Columbia, Ontario realized the potential MMA has in boosting local economies. At the 2008 MMA event held in Montreal, Ontario residents purchased roughly 42% of the tickets sold.〔Ontario Ministry of Consumer Services, ("Ontario Moves to Allow Mixed Martial Arts" ), Accessed on July 16, 2011〕 Marc Ratner, the Ultimate Fighting Championship's (UFC) Vice-President of Regulatory and Government Affairs commented that MMA is popular in Toronto and on a per-capita bases, it is top of the UFC’s market with regards to pay-per-view purchases and viewers.〔
Following the suite of professional boxing and kickboxing, MMA will fall under the Ontario Athletics Control Act and will be regulated by the Ontario Athletic Commissioner. The commissioner’s key responsibilities will include: ensuring promoters and competitors are appropriately licensed, ensuring fees are paid and liability insurance is obtained, in charge of choosing officials and medical personnel, ensuring each competitor is in good standing, attending and overseeing weigh-ins, pre-fight activities and each MMA event to ensure they comply with standards and regulations.〔
