UFC President Dana White says UFC will be at Madison Square Garden in 2009 UFC 78: Validation expects to draw a sellout crowd Saturday night at The Pru in Newark for a nine-bout card headlined by a light heavyweight showdown between Ultimate Fighter winners Rashad Evans (15-0-1) of Albuquerque and England’s Michael Bisping (15-0). Frank Edgar of Toms River, NJ is also on the card. UFC President Dana White said he hopes to stage a mixed- in Madison Square Garden by 2009. New York currently does not sanction mixed martial arts it will take two years to get through the legal and legislative red tape to sport approved. “It’s easy to go in and educate people about what the UFC is and what the sport is all about. It’s another thing to get the (regulations) and laws created,” White said. “It’s just a matter of going in there and getting it done.” Thirty-three states have approved MMA, including 12 in 2007
