One more year of disappointment for the UFC and MMA fans in New York. Eighth years and counting and the bill to legalize MM will not be brought to vote in NY State Assembly, after passing in a landslide in the Senate, according to a report from the Journal News in Westchester
There are 150 assembly members in New York, and 76 votes are needed to pass the bill. Although there are more than 76 members of the state assembly who are prepared to vote in favor of sanctioning MMA they never got the chance.

And what was the reason? Well easy some of the members were heading home before the vote could happen.
"My big challenge today is that a number of members who are counted as supporters were just unavailable today because of the scheduling, that we weren't expected to be here this long," Assembly Majority Leader Joseph Morelle, D-Irondequoit, Monroe County, the bill's sponsor, told Gannett's Albany Bureau.
"And it's really complicated efforts to get to 76. I think it's looking less likely as the day wears on."
With the latest decision, the country's most populous city and fourth most populous state will go without MMA for another year.
