According to an article on Yahoo! Sports, Dana White and the UFC are planning on having multiple events on the same day in the near future.
White was quoted as saying, “When we go to Japan next year, we’re going to be putting on a show at the same time in Las Vegas.”
White wasn’t too forthcoming with much information. When asked about how he and the UFC planned on executing having multiple events on the same day, he simply said, “You’ll see.”
The logistics behind running two events simultaneously can be tricky. White is still playing this one close to the chest, but he will be sure to release more information about the fights as the dates draw closer.
The UFC has an event scheduled for Japan on Feb. 26, which would be taking place in the early afternoon and air live in the states on the evening of the 25th.
White never confirmed a date, but these dates are most likely when the two events will be taking place.
Having two events on the same day is a great thing for not only the UFC and for fight fans.
For the UFC it means they will have continuing success and growth after their deal with Fox goes through in November.
For us fight fans it means that we will continue to get more of what we want. Fights!
As the UFC continues to grow and evolve, so will the sport of Mixed Martial Arts. That means more high quality, well rounded fighters, and more big events year round.
