The Ultimate Fighting Championship was knocked out last week by a New York state judge who denied it's bid to bring MMA to New York State. According to Bouncer Chronicles the UFC sought a preliminary injunction against New York that would have permitted an April UFC event at the world famous Madison Square Garden.

Manhattan Federal Judge Kimba Wood denied the request in a brief ruling earlier last week. The UFC sued Attorney General Eric Schneiderman last September over a law forbidding the sport. Governor Andrew Cuomo supports MMA in his state. "This is a big sport and it's growing. It can create jobs and economic growth in the state," he said. Professional MMA is legal in every state except New York!
