South Dakota gets a Boxing Commission!!!

I'm sure this doesn't pertain to a whole lot of you but as a resident and a huge MMA Fan I'm happy to report this!! MMA has never been banned in South Dakota, however, it's never had a commission until now!

The South Dakota Legislature and Governor have passed a bill to start a South Dakota Boxing Commission that will cover Boxing, Kickboxing, Exhibitions, and MMA!!! As an avid MMA Fan like myself, this is very big news! Not only will Professional fights mean something in this state, the safety of fighters will also also be controlled(Blood & Drug Tests) AND it also widens the variety of shows and competitors of the sport to come to the state of South Dakota! I'm sure this process will take some time to complete and get into full effect.
