导出博客文章Following a battle that lasted nearly two decades, mixed martial arts has been
legalised in the state of New York. It is a major boost for the UFC, which has
been leading the fight to be able to hold events in New York, and has already
committed to heading there at least four times each year.The New York State
Assembly voted 113-25 in favour of approving the return of MMA, which was banned
in 1997 by then-governor George Pataki. Back then, MMA was still largely
unregulated, and it was not until more rules and safety considerations were
brought into effect that many of the 50 states that permit the sport gave it the
green light.Nevada, the state in which the UFC holds the majority of their major
events, did not authorise it until 2001. Irish star Conor McGregor could soon be
fighting in New York This has been a long time coming, and on behalf of our New
York UFC, I want to offer heartfelt thanks to those who voted for this bill,
said Lorenzo Fertitta, UFCs chairman.Through letters and phone calls, rallies
and social media, New Yorks MMA and UFC fans have lent their voices of support.
It took a while, but their voices have been heard.We look forward to hosting our
first New York event in the worlds most famous arena, Madison Square Garden,
home to so many epic sporting events throughout the decades. McGregor &
Rousey: What now? What is next for the UFC superstars? The UFC had attempted to
push the issue late last year, when they announced the scheduling of UFC 197 for
Madison Square Garden, despite the MMA ban still being in place.They had also
filed for a preliminary court injunction to allow it to take place, although
this was ultimately unsuccessful. UFC could now make its debut at Madison Square
Garden The event, which takes place on April 23, was subsequently booked for the
MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.A number of local fighters will likely
feature when the first New York card is held, and one of those could be Chris
Weidman.Weidman, a former UFC middleweight champion from Long Island, says that
the news is a dream come true. Chris Weidman is excited about the prospect of
fighting in his home state Ive been fighting now for seven years, and missing
out on opportunities to fight in front of my family, friends and the fans here
in New York, he said.Every year you hope and it kept falling through. So for it
to finally happen, its a dream come true for me, and its a dream come true for
all these New York fans.All that remains is for governor Andrew Cuomo to sign
the bill into effect. Cuomo had already included MMA in his proposed state
budget for 2016-17, meaning it would be a surprise should he not do so. Also
