Earlier today MMAJunkie reported that the World Series of Fighting plans a one night eight man elimination tournament to be held in Seattle in November.
The problem with this? Washington State law prohibits elimination tournaments. You can access Washington State’s Law Relating to Combative Sports here.
However, we have not approved this event and you are correct that Washington State law prohibits these types of events.”.
It may be possible that the event will be held on tribal land, however, if the event is held in a venue where the State’s Department of Licencing has jurisdiction it will be off limits.
What is with the oops? WSOF 100% is going to hold this event at one of the big WA casinos which are on tribal land and hold MMA/Boxing events all the time.....
this Cage Sports Law site is literally making a story out of nothing and clearly has no idea who holds fight sports events in WA. More terrible MMA reporting as usual. I am guessing you have an affiliation with them since nobody else would have heard of this site.
