Rep. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma is planning on introducing legislation to congress to amend the Ali Act so that it also covers professional MMA and kickboxing.
Be prepared for a lot of discussion over the next few weeks about the Ali Act and the question of whether or not it should be expanded to also cover mixed martial arts fighters. Last week we reported the news that Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) would soon be introducing legislation to congress that would amend the Muhammad Ali Reform Boxing Act so that it included the sport of MMA (and other professional combat sports, such as kickboxing).
