UFC in UK

[Vittel]

I was reading a similar thread on sherdog and was wondering when or will there be a another UFC in UK after the success of UFC 38??

The UK has a huge MMA fan base and with recent news of UFC's being shown on the Bravo Channel would slowly market it.

We can see Lee Murray in action as there will be no visa problems and Mir can get his rematch against Freeman.....what you think???

maybe can be done straight after UFC 51 Japan...

Id like to see the UFC do 3-4 shows here in the US but travel around like they did before and not stay in Las Vegas. Anyways, I think it would be cool for the UFC to travel to another country each year for a show. Japan, England, Canada, and Brazil all have a good following.

I think it'd be great if another UFC happened over here. At least we'd get to see it live. We don't even get the PPVs any more.

The UFC can't hold a show in Canada because our laws wouldn't allow it. There are certain moves like elbow strikes to a downed opponent that wouldn't be allowed.

Dana himself said about a year ago "we've got tremendous support from Canadian but unfortunately their political climate prevents us from doing any shows there".

Another endeavour of mine has become to work with Mr Showdow, Joe Ferraro to try and change the laws in this country. There's something very important that may happen soon. Keep your fingers crossed for us.
