White says that with his promotion return later this month with UFC 144, he doesn’t expect to draw 100,000 fans to an event but feels there are enough hardcore fans who will want to see a live event. The UFC president feels that his company has a long way to go re-building the fan base in Japan before it can even come close to matching PRIDE in it’s glory days.
