Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani 42m The gang's all here. http://instagram.com/p/g-6Wn7vKUx/ Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani 37m Mr. @TheDomin8r means business today. http://instagram.com/p/g-60QaPKVk/ Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani 27m Weidman with fighting words for the politicians: "Look into these hazel eyes, from one NYer to another, stop. It's enough. Make it happen." Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani 27m Yes. RT @brodigan: @arielhelwani Any local officials from the senate/assembly there? Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani 20m Well-spoken politicians are speaking now about why they are in favor of this bill. Persuasive stuff. Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani 19m A politician said it would be "governmental policy craziness" to leave all this money on the table. In other words, promotional malpractice. Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani 16m UFC's Lawrence Epstein says they've been fighting this fight since 12/1/07. He says they'll do 45-46 events next year. This year = 33. Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani 13m Epstein: "We're very, very hopeful that 2014 will be the year MMA is legalized in NY." Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani 6m RT @marc_raimondi: Assemblyman Hevesi says MMA hasn't gotten enough votes in the Assembly, which is counter to everything we've been told. Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani 5m Very interesting turn here. The Assemblyman is pretty much refuting what Ratner always says, which is they never get a chance at the plate. Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani 5m RT @marc_raimondi: Everyone has always blamed Assembly speaker Sheldon Silver for not bringing MMA to a vote. Hevesi is opposing that. Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani now Lorenzo Fertitta just said they'll be doing 54 events next year. So from 33 to 54.
