Should the Government Regulate Mixed Martial Arts in Utah?

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) in Utah, is a part of Utah culture. Fight Clubs had their origin in Utah. BYU students in Provo used to get together in basements and in desolate areas to slug each other in the face. The bouts were very disorganized in many ways, but the means by which they were put on, was very sophisticated.
These events pre-dated Facebook, so organizers of Fight Clubs had to be very creative in how they solicited fighters, and how they let spectators know when and where they could find the unsanctioned bouts.
