On Sunday, June 22nd from 8pm-9pm ET MMA Payout will be a part of Sports Law Chat’s tweetup talking about Legal Issues in MMA including a discussion about the continued struggle to legalize professional MMA in New York. MMA Journalist Jim Genia and Sports and Entertainment Lawyer Carla Varriale will also be a part of the discussion.
Varriale is teaching a course this summer at Columbia University’s School of Continuing Education’s Sports Management Program entitled, “MMA in New York: A Study in Whether It Should Be Legalized and Regulated.” As you can tell from the name of the class, it takes a look at the battle to legalize the sport in New York state. As many of you know, Jim Genia is an MMA journalist that is intimately familiar with the battle in the state. It should prove to be an informative time.

For those on the west coast, it will take place on twitter between 5pm-6pm on Sunday June 22nd. Celebrate the U.S. World Cup win over Portugal by logging on and learning more about legal issues in MMA.
