New York Secretary of State Supports MMA
Earlier today, New York Secretary of State, Lorraine Cortes-Vazquez, wrote an article in the Times Union about how she approves of legalizing MMA in New York.
Governor David Paterson said earlier this month that legalizing the sport was part of his plan in closing the state’s budget deficit. Ms. Cortes-Vazquez’s article was in support of this decision:
Based on our experience regulating professional boxing in New York and on conversations with top regulators from more than a dozen other states that regulate MMA, I believe this sport, when properly regulated, will provide New Yorkers with financial and sports entertainment value while maintaining high standards regarding the safety and health of participants.
The governor has made the right decision in his effort to bring MMA to New York.
