It seems the Ultimate Fighting Championship is tired of waiting for mixed martial arts to be legalized in New York.
The Las Vegas-based fight promoter Monday announced that UFC will hold an event at New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden on April 23, 2016. The announcement is a clear shot across the bow to New York legislators as the UFC fights to lift the state’s long-standing ban on professional MMA.
No further details were announced regarding the event, which the UFC acknowledged may have to be canceled.
