Reports: MMA won't be legalized in New York this year

Another year, another disappointment for the UFC and MMA fans in New York.

For the eighth straight year, the bill to legalize MMA will not be brought to a vote in the New York State Assembly after passing in a landslide in the Senate, according to a report from the Journal News in Westchester. Both Newsday's Mark La Monica and New York-based MMA journalist Jim Genia have also reported that the bill will fail this year.

UFC president Dana White made his feelings on the matter very clear on Twitter.
