Law and Order MMA: Don King wins court ruling, Shine Fights says they'll continue (Update: Not anymore)

(We aren't canceled yet baby!

In the legal battle between Don King and Shine Fights the judge has ruled in Don King's favor (only in America!).

Josh Gross tweeted the news.

Broward Country Circuit Court Judge Marc C. Gold ruled in favor of Don King Productions, granting injunctive relief at 1:20 p.m. ET.

So, what will Shine Fights do now that the law is not on their side (for the moment at least). Why, they are going to go all Andrew Jackson on the Cherokees (too history dork?)

Once again Josh Gross:

This is gonna get fun now. Shine Fights says they will ignore the injunctive relief and move forward with the fight tonight.

You know what, Shine Fights might actually be worth watching tonight to see if Don King brings the police to shut it down. ONLY IN AMERICA!

Update: The fight has gone the way of Law and Order, not Law Order SVU.  According to Karyn Bryant:

Mayorga's out. Ninja Rua vs David Heath is new headliner at Shine tonight. Still lots of good fights going down!

Update #2: The North Carolina Athletic Commission canceled the fights for reasons that no one is entirely sure of...
