California regulators issued a cease-and-desist against fight promoters who staged an event in San Francisco pitting a human fighter against several combat robots in a cage match.

Why now: The bizarre human-versus-robot matchup and regulators' intervention made for an unusual story at the intersection of sports, technology and law.
