TORONTO – Not yet halfway through its first UFC Fan Expo in Canada, the promotion was ready to spring loose the early details on its next fan event.
UFC president Dana White announced Friday during a question-and-answer session with fans at the Toronto UFC Fan Expo that Houston will host one on Oct. 7-8. The promotion had not previously made any announcement for its next fan event.
The UFC has not yet made official a fight card for that weekend in Houston. Sources with the promotion could not yet confirm on Friday to MMA Fighting that the weekend will also play host to a pay-per-view. But all the other UFC Fan Expos have been lead-ins for pay-per-views, and the belief is that the Houston Fan Expo will be no different – possibly UFC 136.
