Committee to Legalize Mixed Martial Arts in New York State
I, Louis Neglia, president of the Ring of Combat, do hereby call on Governor Patterson & NY state lawmakers to legalize Mixed Marital Arts.
Mixed Martial Arts is the fastest growing and most exciting sport in the country. This sport will generate tax revenues and help hotels, arenas, restaurants and the little guy, like cab drivers, waiters and other employees who will benefit from Mixed Marital Arts.
By signing the petition you are in agreement to legalize Mixed Marital Arts in New York.
I have spent my life in this ring and I know the potential this sport holds for our state economy. The conversations I am having with lawmakers are finally starting to gain some real traction.

Seeing this level of support for the sport I love is overwhelming. It is clear that New York is ready to embrace the energy and progress that these events will bring to our state.

Watching the UFC at the arena would be incredible. Stop treating it like a back alley fight when it is a legit sport with rules and refs.

Tax money is needed badly in this state. This is an easy win for everyone involved.
