105 AnonymousMixed Martial Arts is a safe sport in which safety is the #1 concern. There is no reason for it to be illegal while boxing and other combat sports are legal.

119 willfar from "human cockfighting" everything about the sport is art. it's a combat sport like boxing, but it is far superior to boxing. MMA is the elite combat sport kickboxing, muay thai, boxing, wrestling, judo, karate, and of course brazilian jiu-jitsu. if you follow the sport, it won't take long for you to appreciate just how pure it is.

122 John Trunk JrPlease legalize MMA in New York.
123 Richard OrzechowskiAs someone who Lives in Jersey City and Works in NYC I feel MMA at the Garden would do great things for NYC and for the sporting world. The biggest stage on earth and the fastest growing sport together. NYC already has billboard after billboard with MMA promos, its only time that they become the leader in events too.

128 Kasey OlsonSeeing a UFC at MSG would be an MMA fan's dream come true and would help bring legitimacy to a sport that it VERY misunderstood. Thank you.

131 Joshua AnselmoI live in NY and would attend every event. MMA is just as much of a sport as any other that has rules and regulations.

146 alex wintersmma is legal in almost every other state and is become a legit sport. mma fighters have less injuries in one year than most football/rugby/boxing players have. boxing is far more dangerous and damaging to the brain. if boxing is legal why shouldn't mma be? in a boxing fight both boxers usually reciece about 300 blows where as in mma they recieve around 50ish a fight. in mma the fight is stopped when a fighter cannot defend himself or is flash ko'd. in boxing flash knockouts happen and the fighter is able to get up fast enough and answer the 10 count and continue to recieve worse damage to the brain. your brain is more susceptable to injury once being knocked out for even a second
147 Ray WashburnNote that mma has evolved into a structured sport rather than the no-holds barred label of 20 years ago.
148 james thompsonWay to long in coming. If that be powers take the time to look in to what MMA is about it will be legalized
149 Kevin BuddingtonBring the revenue to your state
150 Cory MarshallNever has their been a DEATH or SERIOUS injury in the UFC. MMA is DEFINATELY safer than boxing! Legalize it NY!!
