Jim Genia Leads a Panel on NY Underground MMA

The Jacob Javits convention center in the far west side of midtown Manhattan hosted the World MMA Expo this past November 17-18, 2011.  The multi-faceted event was comprised of a jiu-jitsu tournament, mixed-fighting exhibition matches in a cage, autograph signings from famous MMA stars, panel discussions, and more.  NY MMA stars Kenny Rivera and Jonathan Rodriguez were both victorious in the cage.  Jonathan Rodriguez, currently on a winning streak of over ten wins, got through the wrestling and kickboxing rounds and secured his patented triangle choke midway into the final grappling round. Look out for these two.

March 6, 2012 - Community Rally for the Sanctioning of Professional MMA in NY

A loyal crowd of MMA faithfuls gathered in front of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s NYC Office at 633 Third Avenue to rally for the legalization of professional mixed martial arts in New York.  As one of the last holdouts, New York is currently preventing valuable sports revenue from boosting its economic goals.  This backwards bureaucratic policy is bound to go down in flames in the near future, it’s a matter of 1-3 years at most.  Then MMA will be legal hundreds and possibly thousands of years to come.  I guess we’re witnessing history here.
