Lift the 6 month ban on MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) Events in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada

The below excerpt is taken from the Moncton Times & Transcript News Paper stating that MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) Events are banned for the next 6 months in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada with no reason as to why.

The Moncton Boxing and Wrestling Commission has ruled there will be no mixed martial arts cards in Moncton for the next six months. There have been seven MMA events here in the past three years and the sport has enjoyed a growing fan base locally.

"After three years of sanctioning MMA events in the City of Moncton, the Moncton Boxing and Wrestling Commission has decided to do a complete review of the events that have been held here," said commission chairman Jerry Doiron-Gould.

"For the next six months, we will not be sanctioning any MMA cards in Moncton. Once that period is over, we will then make a decision on whether to continue sanctioning MMA events here."

Doiron-Gould wouldn't discuss what prompted the commission to do a review of past MMA events in Moncton.
