On Tuesday, June 2 2009, Bill 2009-B, which places the regulatory duties of the sport back in the hands of the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC), passed with a 14-6 vote. The state’s Codes Committee will now review and vote on the proposal’s legal implications. It is expected to then move right to the assembly floor for its final vote. This is the first time a Bill that address MMA regulations has made it out of committee.
State Assemblyman Bob Reilly addressed the committee for 20 minutes. Reilly, a long-time opponent of MMA, illustrated his belief that the sport was both unsafe and of a seedy element with a video that included footage from the November 2008 heavyweight title bout between Brock Lesnar and Randy Couture, TUF veteran Corey Hill’s gruesome leg break from a charity event last December, and UFC President Dana ‘s profanity-laced rant against a reporter last April.
A timetable for the bill’s remaining passage has not been set, but initial assessments are encouraging.

If anything, I bet Reilly is a big Boxing fan. I know John McCain had something or the other invested in Boxing while he was rallying against the UFC in the 90s.

Im so happy John McCain is NOT president I cant explain how happy I am. I actually wish they would have left him in that prisonercamp in Vietnam instead.
