UFC Poughkeepsie MMA Fans watch as the UFC debuts for the first time on Fox.

Poughkeepsie MMA fans were treated to the debut of the UFC on major network television Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos fought for the UFC Heavyweight Title. Although the fight was brief with Dos Santos claiming a quick victory in 1:04 of the first round via KO, Poughkeepsie area residents were exposed to the fast growing sport of MMA on a major network. This is a major step in the direction of legalizing MMA in New York and seeing MMA events in the Poughkeepsie area. New york is currently one of the few states where sanctioned MMA events are not yet legal. Hopefully, the deal between the UFC and Fox will help in convincing NY lawmakers that MMA is a safe and legitimate sport that should be legalized.
