Chris Archer tells CHSJ News he's hoping to start an amateur foundation in the city.
A by-law exists in Moncton that allows M-M-A and Archer says events staged in Saint John at the L-B-R would bring much needed dollars to the city.
He maintains mixed martial arts is actually safer than other contact sports such as hockey, football and even soccer.
The issue will be before the councillors tonight. The regular council session gets underway at 6:30pm.
