When this ordinance passed in August of 2005, it had this specific writer in it (DOC: ULTIMATE-FIGHTING-ORD)
   (b)   The location of the activity and that the activity is not located in a park or any other city-owned facility;
In other words, none of these events can take place at the Arena, Events Center, Canaries stadium, etc.
Some have been wondering with the Sanford Pentagon hosting quite a few of these events that it may be time to lift the city-owned facility ban.
I really don’t have an opinion on it, except that when this passed it was because the city had concerns about liability. I could care less if a couple of meatheads beat each other up. Some say that it really isn’t ‘fighting’ in the traditional sense because of the martial arts and wrestling attributes to the contest, but every time I have seen an opponent lose, it’s probably because they are getting punched in the face and not because they succumbed to a fireman’s carry. Let’s face it, it’s boxers that are allowed to do flip kicks and roll around on the mat in the first couple of rounds.
Like I said, don’t know what to think of lifting the ban, I guess the only concern I would have is the same one the city council had in 2005, liabilities if someone gets seriously injured or died in a match. Could the city be sued?
As you can see, the doors are locked unless you have an appointment. I guess they are finding out operating a facility like this isn’t very lucrative when you only have 102 members. Heck, they can’t even hire a teenager to pick up the garbage and mow the weeds at the joint. Better call code enforcement, those weeds look noxious and that garbage could be considered a ‘public nuisance’. I wonder how long before Great Life buys this place on a auction?
