New York MMA: An underground story

Just got through the above-referenced article by Josh Gross over at ESPN.com and highly recommend it for anyone interested in getting up to speed on one of the "underground," i.e., unregulated, fight promotions, the Underground Combat League, in New York.

You may recall an earlier CNN video describing the same promotion:



In his article Josh quotes two guys who are both very knowledgeable about this topic, including Jim Genia, "a journalist who has covered the local New York fight scene closely since 2001" and who "covers Underground Combat League in his forthcoming book, 'Raw Combat'" and Nick Lembo, Deputy Attorney General for the State of New Jersey and Counsel to the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board.
