Congratulations on your appointment and good luck serving BC’s combat sports community!
Combat Sports Law 
I sure hope he surrounds himself with the right people, and does as much as he can to educate himself on the sport of MMA.
It’s hard not to be nervous for where the sport is headed when the people in charge of regulating it don’t have a lot of experience within the Crazy MMA industry.
Best of luck, and looking forward to what Dave can do for MMA in B.C.
