Lots of big news from UKs UFC head

[brooks85]

UFC has a head in italy now and in china. In the video he talks about a new event in Benelux,Italy, Brazil or Mexico next year being a likely possibility. He says UFC is going back to Abu dhabi, australia and Ireland next year. And white said once chinas operation is running, including the chinese version of TUF, they are going to india then S. korea. Sport is getting huge, I can not wait for the day UFC is on every weekend.

They are taking over the world. Dana has even said his goal is 100 events per year worldwide.

Really interested to see how big a business UFC will turn into. Even more curious is if it'll ever turn from the business having the leverage or will the fighters.

At first glance I thought the thread title was "Big news at KFC"

[brooks85]

the UFC heads say they are not planning an event for brazil until the Olympics get there, in 2016. They left the window open for the possibility of an event sooner but a time window of 5years seems crazy.

I thought MMA was a dying sport? I keep hearing that crap float around the internet but not seeing it happen.. Hmmmm?

100 is too many 55-60 events a year would keep it from being watered down....but if the people watch---he will air it lol
