The Ultimate Fighting Championship has been aggressive with its world expansion, and the promotion soon will add another part of the globe to its list.
UFC president Dana White on Tuesday said the company recently set its sights on South Africa and is close to launching a broadcast deal in the African country of nearly 50 million people.
Earlier this spring, the UFC announced a four-year broadcast deal in India. And with White’s Tuesday announcement, the promotion soon will test the waters on yet another continent.
