The Wisconsin Senate has approved a bill to regulate mixed martial arts fights with a vote of 32-0. Proposed regulations would require fights to be overseen by a licensed referee and four licensed
judges. A doctor and an ambulance would also need to be present, while fighters must have proof of
health insurance.
Promoters would face an annual $500 fee together with a nonrefundable $300 fee per application per event. Event and gate fees would be capped at a maximum of $12,500. The legislation will now be considered by the Wisconsin Assembly.
