SACRAMENTO, Calif. – When UFC president Dana White first mentioned
earlier this month that a forthcoming UFC event will likely take place
in the war-torn country of Afghanistan, there appeared to be more
questions than answers surrounding the logistics of how to pull off such
a feat.
Questions still remain, but following today’s press conference promoting
Saturday’s “Aldo vs. Faber” event, White said he’s “very confident” the
UFC will pull it off.
“We actually want to go right into Afghanistan and put on an event in
the middle of all the [expletive],” White said. “It’s going to happen.
… Anything can happen if you want it to happen bad enough.”
