What does our bureaucratic government care if some “thugs” are fighting in prison… After all, the place was designed for scum to rot away, that is the social purpose of prison, along with spending tax money.
Well, that’s going to help the sport of MMA in my home state of RI. A pretty strange state to begin with, but I digress :D.
I’m also from RI. I wish they put on TV.
Nice, the ACI is about 10 minutes from my house. Maybe I should contact the corrections department and see if I can cover these fights for MMA HQ.
Didn’t know there were so many from RI on here. I usually watch UFC fights as well as Celtics and Sox games at Picassos in Warwick. Anyone else?
