UFC set for Chinese expansion

UFC president Dana White has revealed that the UFC are planning to open an office in China.

White commented on the Chinese expansion while he recently announced their opening of a dedicated Canadian office.

“What we’ve used [until now] to go into Europe and even Australia is our UK office but we’re looking right now [at opening] an office in China,” he said during a press conference.

“We’re there now. Lorenzo has been in China for the last 10 days, and we’re going to make it happen… Asia understands martial arts. They’ve been practicing martial arts for thousands of years. It’s going to be a lot easier.”

The UFC are planning to have a ’TUF China’ show and have recently put a deal in place with Chinese broadcaster Inner Mongolia Televevision.
