“TUF Canada” targeted for 2011; UFC seeks TV deals in China, India, South Korea

MONTREAL – He’s said it before, and he’ll say it again: The UFC is going everywhere.

At today’s pre-UFC 113 press conference at the Bell Centre in Montreal, UFC president Dana White
revealed that while the company is still actively seeking sanctioning in
both Ontario and New York, the expansion of the company isn’t targeted
solely to those two locales.

In fact, White said an international version of “The Ultimate Fighter”
may focus on Canadian athletes as soon as 2011, and UFC co-owner Lorenzo
Fertitta will soon set out across the globe with the intention of
netting TV deals in China, India and South Korea.
