Former UFC champion Ronda Rousey made her presence felt yesterday when Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a bill making New York the last state to legalize mixed martial arts. According to Bouncer Chronicles, plans had already been under way to bring the first UFC event to Madison Square Garden around November 12.

During his press conference, Governor Cuomo said "some of the UFC techniques were not started in the UFC. They started in the New York State Legislature." He stated how having these events will bring millions of dollars in tax revenues.
