Mixed martial arts, with the UFC leading the charge, has cleared another hurdle in the goal of bringing the sport to as much of the world as possible.

UFC president Dana White’s stock response when asked where the promotion wants to go next has been: “We’re taking this thing everywhere.” But up until this point, “everywhere” has not included Ontario, the largest province in Canada.

But after plenty of campaigning by the UFC, MMA can cross another name off its list. According to Ontario’s official website, the provincial government has passed legislation that will regulate MMA starting in 2011.
