UFC president Dana White is still hanging “TUF” with the Philippines,
but his promotion is not quite there in mounting its first international
version of the reality show.

“We’re like one piece away from finishing the thing,” White told
reporters following UFC 130, which took place this past Saturday at the
MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

That piece, however, could be the start of a much more ambitious drive
to create a world grand prix of international competitors on “The
Ultimate Fighter,” he added.
