I fully support HB 1228 and feel it will contribute greatly to the regulation and evolution of combat sports in the state of VA.  There should be minimum standards and over-sight for all approved amateur sanctioning bodies.  These fighters are not even getting paid, the least we can do is make sure they are protected by competent officials.  Promoters sanctioning their own events is an obvious conflict of interest and a recipe for disaster.
