I'm wanting to host a Mixed Martial Arts Tournament soon and i wanna know if there is anything legality wise that i have to do or watch out for. Such as if i have to have it in an actual gym or can it be in someones back yard. I plan on it being a big event so help me out here.
 
doing it in your backyard is a good way to get arrested, or sued. You have to be licensed, sanctioned, have insurance, have certified fighters, and certified referees. I"m sure there is alot more to do than what i've listed.
 
I have no idea, man. At a minimum you need the backing of a sanctioning body; an athletic commission or boxing commission.

No offense, but if you need to ask us, you're nowhere near prepared enough to put on a show.
