The UFC announced their Athlete Marketing and Development Program on Wednesday at a press conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. Much of the presser and the program centers on the UFC’s attempts to promote anti-doping, but there is a portion that covers the more proactive side of education, health, physical maintenance, training and rehabilitation. Lawrence Epstein, UFC’s Chief Operating Officer, announced at Wednesday’s presser the UFC is working on a project called (for now) the ‘UFC Lab’ where all of those efforts come together.
According to the announcement, UFC is in the process of building a new ‘campus’, which includes new office space for the growing infrastructure needs. In addition, Epstein told the media in attendance UFC is also building a facility on that campus that will focus on athlete training best practices, maintenance and physical rehabilitation.
“As part of that office facility,” Epstein said, “we’re building what we call, tentatively, the ‘UFC Lab’. That facility is going to be a state-of-the-art facility where all of our athletes can come work out, using cutting-edge training techniques, and, of course, equipment, but also, if there is an injury, come and rehab at our facility.”
According to Epstein, the larger aim is to treat existing injuries, but also reduce the incidence rate through wellness education and training guidance. Research for the effort came in the form of numerous visits to other professional sports teams existing versions of this type of facility. In particular, Epstein cited the Barclay’s Premier team powerhouse in Manchester City, whose facility already offered its athletes and staff a commensurate level of training and rehabilitative environments.
“I was lucky enough to go and visit some of the great sports facilities around the world. In particular, a few months ago, [I] got to visit the Man City campus in Manchester, England,” Epstein noted. “Just to see the facility that they’ve built there and the incredible thought that went into that, we’ve taken a lot of the ideas that they’ve actually put into place in their facility and are going to put that into ours.”
No date was announced for the opening of the ‘UFC Lab’, nor were any mock-ups provided. As aforementioned, the ‘UFC Lab’ moniker is not permanent. As short as the announcement was on details, however, it was countered by the UFC’s enthusiasm for what the lab can eventually offer its roster of fighters.

Today we’re going live just after the UFC Marketing and Development presser, which means we’re pushing back our start time by two hours. This presser is supposed to cover the latest in what will be the new drug testing program with Jeff Novitzky as well as much more related to fighter health (and who knows what else on the ‘marketing’ side of things). We’ll have immediate reaction to all of it once it’s over.

Alves lost to Condit via second round TKO via doctor stoppage after the end of the second round.
After his UFC 187 loss to Rafael Natal, why did UFC middleweight Uriah Hall last out at Michael Bisping? The Brit wasn’t in attendance, only serving as an analyst in studio in Los Angeles. Still, whatever Hall heard caused him to send this tweet:
@bisping hey man fuck you what da fuck do u know how bout be and u do this after you already know I kick your ass in training
According to Bisping, who spoke to the media Wednesday to promote his UFC Fight Night 72 main event against Thales Leites in Scotland, he doesn’t know what irked Hall either.
“I’m as confused as anybody,” Bisping said. “I’ve been in the training room with Uriah Hall on a couple of occasions at Reign Training Center. I was working the weigh-in show for FOX. Said a couple of comments, it was nothing negative about Uriah and then, for some reason, the guy started sending out abusive tweets.
“You’d have to ask Uriah Hall,” Bisping continued. “I think the guy’s a bit of a head case. Obviously mentally weak. That showed in his fight against Rafael Natal.”
The Brit said he sent a positive message because of a mutual associate they have. He doesn’t intend, however, to say much of anything else. According to him, it’s only the Leites bout that he cares about at this point.
Unlucky Urijah, we’ve all been there. You will grow from this and be better next time.
“We have the same manager. That’s why I sent a nice tweet. I said, ‘Look, listen, you’ll learn from that mistake.’ He’s obviously got a lot of potential, but I’m not out to start any rivalries with Uriah Hall.
“I’ve got a big fight ahead of me with Thales Leites,” Bisping explained. “I want to be world champion. All I’m thinking about right now is Thales Leites, the problems that he brings and the show I want to give to the people in Glasgow.”
