New York MMA Fans unite: An open letter from Matt Serra regarding MMA legalization in New York

May

If you are a die hard fan of mixed martial arts and you are tired of driving to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut to watch live MMA action, then you need to read this letter from former UFC welterweight champion , Matt Serra.

As a native New Yorker, nothing would make me happier than fighting right here in New York.

But I need your help. New York has an antiquated law on its books that prevents any respectable MMA event from being held anywhere in the state. We want that to change, and I’m sure you do too.

These things happen because of pressure from local residents on their legislators, letting the people who pass the bills know that the people they represent care about particular issues.

So we need to get a lot of people to email their legislators.

So, please go to MMAFacts.com and click on my picture on the left, follow the instructions and send an email or two to your local legislator. Then forward this message to as many people as you can who you think will also be willing to write and take action.

With your help, we will get MMA to New York. And we will hope to see you at the fights.

Thank you,

Matt Serra

It is important that we email our legislators in order to get this ridiculous law nullified. As someone who trains and watches mixed martial arts, I am tired of driving all over the tri state area just to see a fight. I have been to Connecticut, Las Vegas, New Jersey, and Ohio just because I want to see live mixed martial arts action. I probably wouldn’t be flying to Ohio if I could had the opportunity to watch live fights in New York.

I will be emailing my legislator and I hope that you do the same.
