This post will link to all of the State Athletic Commissions which regulate Mixed Martial Arts events (or which would regulate them upon legalization in that state).  State MMA regulations are changing regularly, so you should not rely exclusively on this list--or even the athletic commission's website--in determining whether MMA is legal or what rules to follow.  As just two examples, both Alabama and South Dakota signed bills creating boxing commissions in 2009.  The best bet is to contact the licensing authority directly to confirm what is allowed and whether the posted rules are current.

41 states officially sanction Mixed Martial Arts (with Massachusetts soon to be the 42nd).

ALABAMA (No website, but a bill creating a boxing commission was signed into law in May 2009; MMA appears to be legal if sanctioned by the International Sport Combat Federation.)

ALASKA (No Commission)

I plan to periodically update this post to maintain a current list of MMA Promoters/Companies with active websites.   

If I've missed you, please don't be offended.  Send me your name and web address and I'll be happy to post a link.

My home state gets top billing.  Other state-by-state and international listings are after the jump.
