UPDATE: Vermont Legalizes MMA, Connecticut Not Far Behind

Vermont becomes 46th state to legalize MMA. Connecticut is not far behind and may become #47.

This would leave New York as the only state with an athletic commission that does not regulate MMA. Our new state slogan may become "MMA: First to ban it, last to regulate it"

Come on Albany, let's get it together!

5/7/2012 UPDATE:
According to MMA Junkie, Connecticut failed to pass their MMA legislation.
