This is a petition to President Obama so that he can examine, and possibly help the sport of Mixed Martial Arts ("MMA") attain legalization in the state of New York. Essentially, MMA is not legal in New York because of a dispute between the biggest MMA organization, the UFC, and a Culinary Union located in Las Vegas, NV. The facts of this situation indicate that a Culinary Union in Las Vegas is comfortable with preventing MMA from attaining legalization, thereby, keeping the people, and the state of New York from benefitting from the economic impact associated with MMA, and UFC events as a whole. There is a greater good in this petition, and that is to legalize MMA in New York, so that it can benefit economically from MMA, and UFC related events.
