Common Council discussing once again whether mixed martial arts should have a home in the Port City. Councillor Raw Strowbridge questioned why every other city in the Maritimes seems to be hosting MMA when it's supposedly illegal, saying we're behind the times. He suggested perhaps other cities are regulating the sport through the boxing or wrestling leagues.
Strowbridge asked legal counsel Francois Beaulieau to explain what the legal issue is but says he isn't satisfied with the answers.
A demonstration to bring MMA to Saint John was recently held in front of City Hall.
