North Vancouver city officials voted to disband the North Vancouver Athletic Commission Monday night, local Web site NorthShoreOutlook.com reported.
“I’ve watched enough of it [Ultimate Fighting Championship] channel surfing to know that I find it repugnant … barbaric,” Coun. Pam Bookham was quoted as saying in the report.
This decision has led to some confusion within the Canadian MMA community. North Vancouver and Vancouver are two different municipalities run by two different governments. So while the future of MMA is still bleak in Vancouver, the disbanding of the NVAC has nothing to do with the Vancouver Athletic Commission.
