Another UFC is in the books now and we were treated to the debacle known as an Anderson Silva title fight. What was suppose to be a classic Top level striking vs. Top level grappler match up turned out to be a slap in the face for MMA. The UFC’s first card held in Abu Dhabi was rounding out to be a card to remember with Matt Hughes chopping down another Gracie in Renzo and The Lightweight Division crowning a new Champ in Frankie Edgar. Unfortunately all that is being talked about and what most will remember first is the Middleweight champs act once again.

UFC 111 will take place March 27th and will mark the return to New Jersey for the first time in over two years. Coming back to New Jersey is not the real reason to put on the mega event that reason lay northeast in New York. The UFC is desperately trying to get MMA legalized in New York and the counsel is suppose to vote later this year regarding MMA. The theory is that if they put on this mega show, it sells out and New Jersey loves it the NY counsel will see the dollar signs and legalize it. With the card announced so far it will easily selling out and make a ton of money so I see this tactic working
