\nThe Ultimate Fighting Championship is putting the U.S. Market on the outs next year as part of their European expansion with at least six events made for a Euro-only audience.<\/p>\n

The first of which is in the planning stages and according to UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta it will be a major event at London’s O2 Arena.<\/p>\n

“It’s going to be a significant event and we’re really excited that we’re going to be here on a consistent basis,”<\/em> Said Fertitta. “We are going to find some incredibly talented fighters from various countries in this market that someday will probably be a UFC champion.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The expectations are to build the local European market so that the UFC is putting on approximately 12-16 events per year on over there that will all likely be blacked out in the U.S.<\/p>\n

UFC Executive Vice President Garry Cook broke down the expansion plans to FOX:<\/p>\n

“I think there’s got to be a little bit more purpose in our European events. You have to be fighting for a reason, for something, and that’s important. We can’t have a tournament, as you well know. It’s very difficult to do that, but we do see the opportunity to create more European champions.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Outside of our European readers is anyone else the least bit concerned about missing your constant dose of MMA due to a stateside blackout, or are these 35 events<\/a> enough to keep you happy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
