Organizations opposed to MMA becoming sanctioned were motivated by threats to boxing and union interests.

Like, because boxing was very threatened by it. And everybody had businesses with people. And then there was so much bullshit that kept it. Like, it was out of New York until like 10 years ago. So we were on, me and my brothers, we were on our way to see a UFC event in New York and it got canceled and it got moved down south. Yes, to Dothan, Alabama. Yes. UFC 12. Yeah. We're on our way. We're on our way to go see it. I was on my way to work at it. Oh my God. That was the first one I was going to work at. Oh my God. Yeah. And it got moved. Yeah. It got moved. And so me. Was like, nope. Nope. Ain't having it. Ain't having it. Well, they kept it out for the longest time, though. There was the guy who took, who was really fighting to keep the UFC out of New York eventually. He got brought up on corruption charges. No. Yeah. Shocker. But it was like, it had more to do with like unions and the fact that Zufa, who owned it, they also owned hotels. And didn't have unions. Exactly. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
