New Yorkers, help make our state the 37th state to legalize MMA!


On Saturday July 11, thousands of New York MMA fans watched some great UFC®100 fights at Radio City Music Hall. Unfortunately, until the New York State legislature overturns the ban on MMA, that’s as close as we'll get to a live MMA bout in NY State these days.

But you can help change that. Please join the thousands of New Yorkers at MMAFacts.com who have called, written or emailed their State Senators and Assembly members and asked them to bring MMA to NY.

Please follow the link below to email your representatives and urge them to vote on bill # A2009/S2165, which would legalize MMA in New York State.

The head of Ontario’s AC is very very lazy.

When is NY’s state legislature getting back from vacation and self destructing?

Keep firing Assholes!

Vacation? May, likely.
Self-destruction? Never. If you have any doubt of this, you don’t follow New York politics.

Good Luck

You’ll need it.

It ends in an armbar or a strangle regardless.
