This was the first UFC event to be held in the state ofNew York. After the event,mixed martial arts were illegal in New York, which prohibited UFC or any other promotion from holding any further MMA events in the state; it would take two decades, and significant lobbying, to pass legislation allowing the sport. UFC would not hold another event in the state untilUFC 205 inNew York City 21 years later; the promotion later returned to Buffalo withUFC 210 in April 2017.[7]
