A small but vocal contingent of New Yorkers is getting out the word about MMA in the Empire State.
The Coalition to Legalize Mixed Martial Arts in New York today held a rally to educate the public on the sport and attract mainstream media to the plight of fans who want to see MMA legalized.
The rally, held on the steps of assembly speaker Sheldon Silver’s office in Lower Manhattan, drew veteran fighters Frank Shamrock and Tara LaRosa, as well as Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem.
