Looks like yet again, MMA will not be coming to New York any time soon. The Tourism and Sports Development Department of the state yet again shot down a bill that would have potentially help to legalize MMA in the state, placing the bill for review in the near future. MMAonTap.com is reporting.
Those who opposed legalizing the sport claimed that since cockfighting and dog fighting were both illegal than MMA should as well. Yet again dragging MMA down to little more than human cockfighting. It was also reported that a public forum will likely be held later this year so that all who which to speak, either for or against the matter may do so. Even if the bill had gone through today it still would have had to have gone through a longer series of additional floor, including the New York State Legislature and governor's office. The sport will more than likely have to wait another year before it has the opportunity to be legalized in New York.
Posted by: Jorge from VA at 06-20-2008 04:13 This is complete bs. How is mma like human cockfighting? It's a legit sport and has gone miles away from how brutal it originally was. These people need to watch some recent shows to see how legit mma is.
