NEW YORK (AP) — The Ultimate Fighting Championship has sued New York State in federal court to overturn a law that makes the group’s mixed martial arts events illegal.
On a 105-page complaint assigned Tuesday to U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood, UFC claims a 1997 New York law violates the First Amendment and equal-protection, due-process and commerce clauses of the U.S. Constitution.
The group sued New York State Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman and Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr.
