UFC and Arianny Celeste took to their Twitter accounts today asking for fans to sign this petition. The form is titled: Tell Albany: Bring MMA to New York State and essentially pleas to make New York state the 45th MMA sanctioned state. It briefly suggests that since MMA is the “fastest growing sport in America” it could boost state’s dwindling economy:
MMA is not only the fastest growing sport in America – it’s a source of jobs and economic development that our state desperately needs. MMA events would drive millions in revenue for our cash-strapped cities and arenas.
