Default New York, Mass and what other states?

Does anyone know which other states have yet to sanction MMA?

The major venues and the surrounding areas in these states are missing out on some $.

Looking for this info I found this non profit organization that sanctions amateur and professional mma events in states that do not sanction the sport. I am sure it is small scale, but imagine if they tookover and state sanctioning was no longer required.
