South Carolina could be the latest state to change its stance on mixed martial arts after taking a significant step to lift the ban.

Earlier this month, the state’s House Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee passed a bill to eliminate the ban.

Then on Thursday, the bill was passed on the House floor with a unanimous 57-0 vote.

Providing the bill is passed by the Senate, the South Carolina State Athletic Commission will be able to begin regulating MMA events.
