According to the New York Post, Judge Kimba Wood has dismissed Zuffa’s claim that the New York law banning MMA violates the First Amendment. Judge Wood did leave Zuffa’s claim that the New York law could be unconstitutionally vague.
MMA Payout will have more on this later today.
This seems to be leaving out a portion of the story:

“Judge Wood did leave Zuffa’s claim that the New York law could be unconstitutionally vague.”
What does “leave” mean in this sentence? Typo?
That that claim wouldn’t be dismissed?
@MV
All of Zuffa’s claims have been dismissed except for its Vagueness claim. So the Judge granted New York’s motion to dismiss the complaint except for the one remaining claim. So, the Court left this for the parties to litigate.
@BS
Yes, you are correct. After reading the 44 page opinion, it looks like Zuffa is down to just one claim left in its lawsuit. So, more than the First Amendment claim went down yesterday.
Zuffa doesn’t get it, old school Jewish Boxing money controls the courts in NY state. Good luck! Why even bother they will do one show and get reamed beyond belief with Union expenses and regulations. Walk away from NY its not worth it.
Thanks for clarifying, Jason. I found it all a bit confusing.
If history has taught us anything when in doubt; blame the jews.
@MV No problem.
Jason, can you post a copy of the judgement?
To hell with zuffa. i hope their debt swallows them. not being able to get into the most important american city will help this along. A bunch of cooks and dishwashers bringing the mighty white to his knees. how sad.
@Erik We will. In the meantime watch Inside MMA tonight on AXS TV.
