UFC President Dana White, Owner Lorenzo Fertitta, lightweight champion Frankie Edgar and president of Madison Square Garden Sports Scott O’Neil will hold a press conference tomorrow, January 13, 2011 at 1:00pm CT to announce a plan to bring UFC to Madison Square Garden as soon as mixed-martial arts is allowed in New York. They will also release a new economic impact study on the benefits of NY allowing and regulating MMA sports.

Shore's Slant: The press release notes that the press conference will run live on UFC.com starting at 1:00 CT. NY is one of only six starts to not regulate MMA fighting, and this would be a huge boost for the sport in general and UFC in particular.
