    So a New York native beats the pound for pound greatest fighter on the planet and he happens to come from a state where the UFC is not yet legalized. I wonder if this will help the UFC's bid on getting fights to start happening in New York?

    Weidman vs Silva 2 at Madison Square Garden.

      Oh yeah, I forgot about him. That was GSP's first title defense right? I think.

        MMA's greatest New Yorker is clearly Ray Longo. Formulated the game plans that defeated the two greatest pound for pound fighters in UFC history. For Serra, he had him throw hooks to St-Pierre's body to counter his jab until St-Pierre lowered his hands and then went up high and hit him in the chin, and for Weidman, he had him punch a hole in his f-cking chest.

          Regardless, this title win over Silva could help create a great push for mma to get legalized in New York. You know that they would love to be part of a championship that hails from their own state.

              I didn't realize he was even from New York.

              So now New York has the Middleweight and the Light heavyweight champions. How can MMA not happen in New York now?
