Can you point to a specific piece of legislation that has benefited the taxpayers of New York State?
Bob: Reilly: Probably the single effort that I did, and I won’t say that it’s the most important, is my single effort to keep ultimate fighting(MMA) out of New York State. And why those who advocate this violent and vicious sport for the reason that it will bring money to this state, I, in fact, claim it will not. The owners of ultimate fighting who have recently spent $174,000, giving that money to various legislators and political parties and have paid their lobbyists $10,000 a month for a number of years are in fact in bankruptcy court in Las Vegas at this very moment to the tune of $7 billion. These are the people who some people advocate bringing in to New York. I’m proud of the fact that almost single-handedly I have kept this out of New York not only because violence begets violence and it’s not what we should have in our state, but also it ultimately saves us money by not having this sport in New York.

I have a question for you Mr.Reilly. If violence begets violence why do still allow boxing in your state, better yet why do you allow the wwe “superstars” to smash each other with chairs and through tables? I smell a rat!
Good job, except the fact that you have no clue what mma shows that your an ignorant dumbass
You do realize that the losses that you list are in the Station Casino, right? They are separate from the UFC. The Fertitta brothers are just part owners of Station Casino. You should do more research before penning such an article.
