The state of Tennessee has passed legislation that calls for the
sanctioning of mixed martial arts, which opens the door for the
Ultimate Fighting Championship and other major organizations to host
events in Memphis, Nashville and other cities.
In fact, it was the UFC that led the charge to get the sport sanctioned
in Tennessee, the home of UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton Jackson.
Gov. Phil Bredesen will put the legislation into effect today. Website
