Hardly a day goes by that UFC president Dana White isn’t asked about his
promotion’s progress on helping the sport of mixed martial arts gain
regulation in the state of New York.
One of the few remaining North American outposts that doesn’t regulate
MMA, New York has appeared close on several occasions to reversing its
position on the sport, but ultimately, the legislature has yet to act.
Much of the opposition has been led by New York Assemblyman Bob Reilly, and he doesn’t appear to be softening his stance.

For years, many mixed martial arts fans have wondered aloud why their favorite sport isn’t a part of the Olympic Games.
After all, with boxing, judo, wrestling and tae kwon do already slated
as modern Olympic events, what’s the problem with adding the arts together?
That’s an argument for another time and place. UFC president Dana White
has far more pressing concerns on his mind. And besides, he envisions an
international tournament staged far more frequently than every
Olympiad.

If UFC contender Josh Koscheck thought he had it
bad in his first trip to Montreal, imagine how it will feel fighting
hometown hero Georges St-Pierre.

indeed true, and the massive arena will play host to UFC 124 on Dec. 11.

Veteran lightweight Yves Edwards has been around the block enough to
know that a UFC contract isn’t an achievement in itself. It’s what you
do when you’re inside the octagon that counts.
Edwards fights John Gunderson at UFC Fight Night 22 on Sept. 15 in Austin, Texas. Don’t get him
wrong, he’s happy to be back. But don’t expect any big proclamations
about how he’s going to take over the 155-pound division.
“I’ve only tied my shoes,” Edwards recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio. “I haven’t even left the house yet.”
