The UFC’s constant quest to get fighting legalized in every corner of the world to eliminate any limitations on where they can host an event one city remains the crown jewel. That city is New York as it has been the goal of Dana White for years. Imagine how big the UFC could do an event at Madison Square Garden and what type of money that would generate for them. Yet still the state of New York remains one of the few states in the USA that does not allow Mixed Martial Arts. In the USA 47 of the 52 states have legalized MMA and one of those remains New York despite the push from the UFC to legalize the sport.

The UFC travels to Atlantic City once again as they look to the lightweights to carry their most recent fight night card. It has become a constant for the UFC as they look to one of their most talented divisions in the promotion to provide an exciting fight. The lightweight division is one of the best divisions in the UFC as the amount of talent is so backed up that contenders can only fight each other while they wait for the champion to fight again.

The UFC has seen a strange trend lately as the Pay per View events have been less than great while free fights seem to be the better fights. Since signing the deal with Fox the UFC has put on more free fights than ever before and they are impressing many. The point of these free fights is to get new fans to purchase the Pay-per-Views that are the backbone of the UFC.
