Ontario Athletic Commission

Please be respectful, not going to help if people just start swaring or calling him names, just let him know that you would like to see MMA sanctioned in Ontario.

Ken Hayashi is a dick this guy wants no part of combat sports probably ban boxing if he could.
Dana White thinks MMA will be legalized in Ontario in the next 1, he's dreaming.
I don't see MMA coming anytime soon as long as the Liberals are in office here in Ontario, and they just got elected for another 4 years in office.
Unless the Premier wants the money it will generate for Ontario, thats the only way I see MMA being legalized in Ontario.

MMA will be legalized in Ontario in a short while. I could see the UFC come into Toronto in 2009 and make a huge impact with the fans. But the more we keep bashing Mr Hyashi the more he wont give us the gift we want. If everyone wants MMA to be legalized then start making petetions and make phone calls asking Mr. H to help legalize this. The more you bash him the more he will not even help. Just ask and be polite about this.

i rather ufc come to louisville (freedom hall) or lexington (rupp arena), closer to where i'm from in kentucky. i've been to see so many wrestling events including wrestlemania and i'm going to summerslam in august, i have to go to an mma event soon or i'm gonna shit on my self, seriously. the only place even remotely close to here that ufc comes to is ohio. i guess the only thing that's stopping me are ticket prices and then you throw in gas on top of that. i'm just waiting and waiting for them to come to chicago which is only two hours away but i dont know if that's ever gonna happen.

ufc at the skydome would be insane! you think it was crazy at the bell centre they could fit over 50000 people in that thing and the way this sport is going they would fill it.
and if im ted rogers (the guy who owns it) im putting a lean on the athletic commission to make it happen

It should be legalized IMO, but even if there was a UFC event here I'd probably still by the PPV in HD. It doesn't look like you can see shit at those events.
