Here is the scientific break down on it………………..
Violent.
That is the reason why it is illegal in N.Y.C
Other sports
American football, ice hockey, rugby football, soccer, boxing, mixed martial arts, wrestling are not violent in the eyes of New York Assemblyman Bob Reilly
In a interview w. Fighters only magazine Mr.Riley gives his reasaons

And here he is in his own words:
New York Assemblyman Bob Reilly has done little to endear himself to MMA fans with his latest comments on the sport. In an interview with Inside MMA on HDNet, Reilly laid out his reasons for not wanting MMA to be legalized in the state of New York.
“The greatest problem I find with Mixed Martial Arts is that it’s violent. And I believe that violence begets violence. Now in New York State, the legislature and the governor constantly are trying to do away with violence: violence in schools, violence in our urban cities, domestic violence. And I think this just helps perpetuate and encourage violence,” he said.
“All of the mixed martial arts have a great history to them. The mixed martial arts developed over literally centuries in some cases, along a philosophy of making your body and your mind stronger, in many cases as a defense. Now when you take two sports – let us take wrestling and boxing… there is a reason why in boxing when a man or woman is on his or her knees that the opponent in boxing cannot slam them in the head.
“There is a purpose in that and the reason is safety. Well when you combine the two, that is when you have the problem. When you have two different disciplines and combine them, that would be liking taking a highway and saying you can drive on both sides of the road.”
Reilly also said that MMA is popular as a spectator sport, where traditional martial arts are not, only because of its ‘violence’.
“Ask yourself why the martial arts aren’t popular as far as [having] a fan base and the reason is: no violence. What attracts people to Ultimate Fighting, unfortunately, is violence. And violence is not good for our society,” he opined.
Reilly says people ask him continually if he could see a way to legalizing MMA in the state of New York and his answer – “Yes, if you drastically change the rules and took the violence out of it” – will bring little comfort to the sport’s fans in the Empire State.
