As of Tuesday evening the state of New York has become the 50th state to make mixed martial arts events legal.
The final vote between New York lawmakers was 113 to 25. Now the bill heads to the desk of Governor Andrew Cuomo, who included MMA revenue in an executive budget proposal earlier this year and is widely expected it sign it into the law
Bill NoA02604 “establishes protocols for combative sports; authorizes mixed martial arts events in this state; establishes procedures for applications for licenses; establishes penalties for violations; imposes taxes on gross receipts of such events.”
This is great news for fighters and fans alike. The possibilities are now endless and we’re sure to be getting some history making moments in the future
