How many times will uninformed public officials mis-label MMA as a ‘no-rules’ barbaric contest?<\/p>\n

I don’t have the answer to that, but I do know, it’s happened again, recently on Australian soil.<\/p>\n

New South Wales Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione took to ‘The Australian<\/a>‘ to discuss the growing sport of Mixed Martial Arts and the impact the UFC has on society.<\/p>\n
