Unfortunately Sakara is their only marketable Italian fighter so it's unlikely they'll be ther for a few years yet.

Yeah. I remember Bruce Lee fighting Chuck Norris there. Enter the Dragon I think. Great kung-fu movie.

It would be pretty awesome to say the least. Nice idea!

Maybe in a few years if they rehab the interior of The Colisiem.

Would be cool. They could tie the PPV intro to a real fighter in the coliseum

Benson and Matt Hughes had better be careful, their types haven't done so well in the coliseum.

I do not think this is entirely true, think it has much to do with how much interest there is. Its a big possibility that UFC comes to Sweden this fall (thank god

) and we only have one fighter in UFC, Alexander Gustafsson. The interest for MMA in Sweden is growing fast, MMA clubs are opening all over the county. I don´t think MMA has reached the same popularity in Italy yet. I might be wrong but thats what I imagin. Although Sweden is a smaller country, we may fill the stadium faster than in italy.

Classic movie

, and its Way of the Dragon and not Enter the Dragon, in Enter the Dragon Bruce Lee´s character fights in a martial arts tournament on a island much like the kumite. I am a bit of a martial arts movie nerd

.

UFC at the colosseum would be awesome in the future!

Ok kool. I'm not a big martial arts movie guy. But the fight at the end was epic. o

Big difference between Sweden and Italy. You're talking one of the highest standards of living vs some of the lowest in Europe. Not a lot of money in Italy. Besides I was just there and they're more into WWE shit than MMA at the moment. Most of them that I talked to don't even really know the UFC or any fighters.
