Victorian Liberal Government ministers met to discuss and vote on the current cage ban in Victoria late last week, but to no avail. According to a report by MMA Aus, it is believed that more than three-quarters of the representing ministers and the shadow cabinet voted in favor to lift the ban. Shadow Minister for Sport and Recreation John Eren delivered a speech to the government stating how dangerous it is holding MMA events in a ring, and the lost revenue to the State from UFC events, which cannot be held unless the ban is overturned. “We need to listen to the sector and try to benefit from it while at the same time making the sport a lot safer not only for the participants, but also for the people who go to the events or watch them at home,” Eren said.
