Dana White: If New York legalizes MMA, UFC will put on a card 'with or without' Jon Jones

UFC's president stopped by SiriusXM Fight Club on Wednesday afternoon and spoke to Ricky Bones, RJ Clifford and Steve Cofield about mixed martial arts (MMA) getting legalized in New York and suspended former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.

The bill to legalize mixed martial arts (MMA) in New York has once again passed through the State Senate, this time with a 49-13 vote. The next hurdle -- where the bill has died the last few years -- is the State Assembly.

Current Assembly speaker, Carl Heastie -- who was a co-sponsor of the bill in years past -- recently became speaker after Sheldon Silver resigned amidst federal corruption charges.
