Statement by Minister Michael Ring on meeting IMMAF
Further to the sad and tragic passing of Mr. Joao Carvalho, and contact having been made with me by the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF) in recent days, I have today contacted the IMMAF with a view to meeting with that organisation at its earliest convenience. I would welcome an opportunity to understand the IMMAF’s perspectives on the issues that Mr. Carvalho’s passing has raised. In particular, I would welcome the views of the IMMAF on appropriate measures to safeguard the health of participants in Mixed Martial Arts events.
