Caught this on Deadspin: "Mixed martial arts matches are currently against the law in the Empire State, but the State Senate passed a resolution today that would establish a boxing-like governing board to oversee the newly sanctioned "combat sports" events." http://blog.timesunion.com/capitol/archives/28273/prepare-to-enter-the-octogon-senate-oks-mma/ http://content.usatoday.com/communities/mma/post/2010/06/ny-senate-votes-in-favor-of-mma/1 Now that the State Senate has approved it, all that needs to happen is the Assembly needs to say "aye" and we've got MMA in NYS! |

I'd be damn excited to see Rashad Evans fight at HSBC Arena. |

I'm not really a fan of MMA. Pretty silly that it's illegal, though. |

When it was made illegal, UFC still allowed kicks and punches to the groin, strikes to the neck, and I think eye gouging and biting. So, when it happened, it made sense haha. |
