I oppose HB 1228
 

The passing of this bill will hinder local business, the schools that some of these promotions support, and of course the fighters who have been working hard for years to put on display what they have learned. I am not sure you realize the ripple effect this will have on anyone even aspiring to be a Mixed Martial Artist in Virginia.

The facts

1.)It appears that these revisions are being made with only one sanctioning body in favor( Global Combat Alliance). 2.)The registered agent (Joanna Catabui) just so happend to make a donation to Delegate Miller (District 50) on October 22nd. 3.)October 23rd HB1228 was introduced 4.) GCA nor Catabui hold a principal office or residence in District 50. Do you really need more evidence than that?
