UFC 198 at Madison Square Garden is officially in its final countdown according to a letter submitted to the federal judge overseeing the UFC's New York lawsuit.
When last we left the UFC saga in New York, the promotion had moved for a preliminary injunction to keep the State of New York from enforcing what's claimed to be an unconstitutionally vague Combative Sports Law at what's scheduled to be UFC 198 on April 23, 2016.
That was back in September. The New York Attorney General has since submitted opposition papers and the UFC replied. The holidays came along and everyone's been doing a lot of waiting.
