It's not that simple. You really don't understand how complex and fucked up the issue is and how bad it is for the sport. We're talking guys who could get felony charges for taking part in these events, not just people who shouldn't be in a cage.

You could always move to Washington state where they have legal "dueling" laws. I understand the issues with unsanctioned fights, it really isn't too complex an issue. It is just a sad state of affairs that two grown adults can't agree to these matches. There have to be licenses and paperwork and butthurt feelings.

You don't understand. It's not as simple as "two people agree to a fight even though one isn't qualified to face their opponent" or something like that. We're talking about professional trained athletes fighting untrained morons, not two people fighting on a street. You really don't know how fucking dangerous that is. Also, even Washington has an athletic commission that regulates amateur and professional MMA, so bringing up their mutual combat law makes no sense. There's no sense in comparing athletic competitions to street fight situations because there are more liability issues in MMA when compared to street fights and mutual combat situations.
And here's the thing about paperwork and licenses: they keep guys who are trying to make it in the game safe from getting seriously injured or catching a blood disease. What you have on these shows are people who are either recovering from injuries, shouldn't be fighting, and going into a cage without having bloodtests done to make sure they don't have HIV or Hepatitis when fighting. This isn't about "butthurt feelings" or anything, it's about making sure nobody gets killed.
