One of the world's most dangerous sports just won another round in Maryland. Kai Jackson reports Governor Martin O'Malley has signed a law allowing the state to sanction mixed martial arts events. Local athletes say they can't wait to compete in the controversial sport.
MMA in its current form has been on the map for about 15 years. It combines Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling and Muay Thai boxing. Now the high energy, high contact sport can have bouts in Maryland. That's because on Thursday Governor Martin O'Malley signed a law allowing it. "It's not a sport that I've ever been to or that I claim to be an aficionado of," said O'Malley.
Because of licensing requirements and training, MMA fights won't take place in Maryland until next year...More?
