> MMA is becoming more accepted. Therefore more places will make it legal and that increases the places that can hold an event. This will only hurt Albany’s chance of getting a UFC event. I can easily see WEC and other smaller organizations making it here, but thats about it. MSG would probably get at least two shows a year though. There are a ton of places more desireable than Albany. Believe me though, I would LOVE if UFC came to Albany.

I agree. As much as I would love to see it come around here, it probably won’t. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for it to get passed. It’s BS they haven’t legalized it here yet.
