NEW YORK – Lorenzo Fertitta, UFC Chairman & CEO, on Tuesday announced the launching of a new page on the official UFC website to provide New Yorkers with a new way to show their support for legalizing and regulating professional mixed martial arts (MMA) in the last place in North America where professional MMA is illegal. The new webpage can be found here: www.ufc.com/NY New Yorkers are urged to join tens of thousands of fans from Buffalo to Montauk and sign up for a grassroots campaign to urge the New York State Assembly to finally pass the bill to legalize and regulate MMA in New York, as the State Senate has now done on a bipartisan basis for six consecutive years.
