Boston strong?

Boston's city council president doesn't think mixed martial arts is something kids ought to be watching, and wants to make that decision for all parents in Boston.

CBS Boston reports:

The Boston City Council is considering age limits on attendance at the Ultimate Fighting Championships in the city.

Council President Steve Murphy wants to ban children under the age of 18 from Mixed Martial Arts shows like the UFC Fight Night Saturday at the TD Garden.

It's too late to ban anyone from this weekend's event, but if Murphy has his way, the next time the UFC comes to town, no kids will be allowed.

If he gets his way, this weekend's UFC event might be the last kids or adults get to watch in Boston.
