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.

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.
