It seems as though this beautiful and yet sometimes blood-covered sport we are proud to call Mixed Martial Arts is going to be made legal in the one place where just about everything in the sports world counts: New York.
Via Dana White's Twitter account (http://twitter.com/danawhite), as well as a strong cause (http://www.mmafacts.com/contactyourlegislator) and a good reporter (http://dnainfo.com/20100616/manhattan/new-york-nearly-ready-get-ring-mdash-state-senate-approves-legalization-of-ultimate-fighting), the New York State Senate passed today a legislation in a narrow 32-26 floor vote.
With the legislation passed out of Senate and now in the Assembly's Ways and Means Committee, MMA fans in "The Big Apple" can sleep easy, knowing that there's still a chance of UFC, Strikeforce, and Bellator events coming to the state of New York in the future.
MMA events live from the Nassau Colliseum?
A future UFC event live and in living color from Madison Square Garden?
