Hey everyone

I don't know everyone's feelings towards combat sports but I'm hoping there are some fans here. I'm hoping there are a bunch in the NY area that are willing to sign a petition to legalize pro MMA here in NY.

http://www.ufc.com/ny/

I don't know if the promotion is still happening but if you sign the petition the UFC will give you a free month of UFC FightPass for your help.

IMO the UFC and MMA has evolved from the what it was in the mid to late 90s. There are many techniques to be enjoyed now in addition to the toughness and violence. There are lots of athletes and different personalities as well. Some good and some bad of course. Good being: Long Island's own Chris Weidman and the bad being Jon Jones. There are quite a bunch of fighters out in Long Island that fight in the UFC too. Chris Weidman, Gian Villante, Ragin Al Iaquinta, Aljamain Sterling to name a few. Hell I saw Coach Ray Longo in Fairway a couple of weeks ago.

One fight that really brought my love for MMA back was Benson Henderson vs. Brandon Thatch earlier this year. This was a modern day David vs. Goliath IMO. Henderson went up a weight class to the 170lb WhelterWeight division from the 155lb lightweight division and won the fight. Thatch was a big 170lber and a hard hitter. Henderson was an experienced former champion who used lots of skill and experience to beat the more powerful Thatch.

Anyway enough of my rambling. Please fill out the petition if you want or call Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie at 518-455-4800 and let him know how important it is to you that the Assembly pass the MMA Bill (A.2604)

Thanks in advance and if the UFC does come to NY we can get together to watch the fights live.

Hey Emil.

You have a chance. Ms Rousey is single. Give the interview a listen.

Also she is easy on the eyes.

Hey Jim,

Really cool. Maybe we can find a local bar that will be showing the next PPV. It will be Weidman vs. Belfort and then for the vacated Light Heavyweight Championship Anthony Johnson vs. Daniel Cormier. UFC 187 is going to be a stacked card.

Also thanks everyone for just looking at this thread. If you filled out the petition even better.

Hey you guys.

Check out this preview video for Long Island's own "All American" Chris Weidman vs. Vitor Belfort.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwodq60w-DE

You also get a good treat with this video. There are some highlights of Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson. The dude is awesome to watch.

With the recent Vitor highlights shown in the video that was when he was fighting in Brazil where drug testing isn't as stringent. He was also under TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) for those fights. With Weidman's fight now Vitor will not have his TRT. I can't wait to see what kind of Vitor will fight Weidman.

I hope the UFC comes to NY. Thanks again.
