After a successful first show in 2009, it appears the promotion will be heading back to Germany sooner rather than later. They aren’t backing down from the challenge of the local government that wants to take the sport off of television there.
“We are doing a show,” White said about returning to Germany in 2010. “One thing we don’t do, we don’t back down, and we don’t curl up and climb into the closet when things don’t go (our way). We’re going to come out, guns a-blazing, and we’re going to keep going.”
The battle lines have been drawn with UFC programming being pulled from networks in Germany due to the “extent of violence shown to be unacceptable.”
“Our job is to build the sport. We’re not going to stop,” said White. “Not getting TV isn’t going to stop us; we’re going to keep going. We can’t get into Ontario; we’re opening an office there. It doesn’t bother us.”
