France has become quite a hot bed for mixed martial arts talent over the years, but not one that immediately springs to mind on the world stage. Why? Because MMA as a sport in France has been banned for many years; mainly for political reasons and to protect the sanctity of traditional martial arts, but the times they are a changing.

No cage events? I really dont understand how that changes anything other than making a bunch of beauracrats feel better because its not a "cagefight", its a sport now.
