Randy Gordon was 16 years ago the chairman of the New York State Athletic Commission who led the charge to ban Mixed Martial Arts in the state. He succeeded, but ironically today, he's front and center of the movement to legislate the sport and approve it for competition. Gordon, also the host of "The Sirius Fight Club" (Tuesdays and Fridays 5-7 p.m.) and a good friend, opined about the topic in today's New York Daily News.
I've written about this before: MMA in New York City - Madison Square Garden - is a perfect marriage. Gordon wrote about the impact it had on Philadelphia, tourism and media coverage. It'll do the same for the Big Apple. Of course, if it's too logical and makes too much sense it usually never gets done. It's time for the boneheads in Albany to actually grasp the concept of pumping life into a sour economy. Why everyone outside of Albany sees that is beyond reason.
