Yeah its weird how there continuing to push the sport farther and farther away. They talk about how bad the economy and crap yet they see other states gaining alot of revenue from the events the ufc puts on. What is it 45 states that have banned the sport? Its sad that banning a sport with such growth is how they are going about there business and if you look at the one case with the subway hero were he saved his own life and help capture a dangerous criminal using MMA in which he saw on the UFC you think would turn some heads.
