This is a very important and needed boost for MMA in New York.

Your thoughts?

It makes sense. The new wave of stadardization since Dana White and company have taken over the UFC has gone a long way to legitimize it. There's no reason it shouldn't be in the same catagory as boxing and other competitive venues.

On the revenue side, it's hard to argue that it'd draw good money to the area. It's poularity right now shows no signs of slacking off.

It's the logical thing to do as it's widely recognized as a legitimate sport. It's not only a revenue-maker for the state, but state regulations (such as the mandatory 90-day wait after a head trauma) protect the fighters.

A good decision.
