UFC president Dana White has coveted putting on a show for U.S. troops in Afghanistan, working hand-in-hand with the U.S. military trying to make it happen. He thought that everything was nearly in place to make the event a reality.
We had a place, and the place got bombed really bad, White told MMAWeekly.com.
The situation was alarming enough for the U.S. military to put the UFC’s plan for an event in Afghanistan on the sidelines, indefinitely.
The bombing of the anticipated location doesn’t dissuade White, however. He is still prepared to go into Afghanistan and put on a show for the troops.
When the U.S. military says we can go in, we’ll go.
Make every story count.
