The UFC returns to Canada this week for the promotion’s third and final
2012 event to take place in the nation UFC President Dana White
routinely calls a “Mecca of MMA.”
There was no stadium show this year, no Canadian
edition of “The Ultimate Fighter” and no Canadian fight series – an idea that was long discussed but now seems to
have fallen by the wayside.
Still, UFC Director of Canadian Operations Tom Wright says there are big
plans for next year. It may feature a few minor tweaks and adjustments
from plans previously discussed in public forums, but Wright believes
the brand is primed for further growth in Canada.
