The UFC’s Chinese website launched over the weekend, a new division head has been hired, and the office will open “immediately,” White said.
“(The office opens) within the next few weeks,” UFC president Dana White told MMAjunkie.com. “I’m telling you, in the 10 years that you guys have known me, have I ever said that I didn’t at least try to make happen? When we say we’re going to do something, we do it. We don’t just go, ‘Oh, yeah, we’re going to go to China,’ and then we just kick around for six months. If I say we’re going to China, we’re going to f—— China.”
Once the Chinese office is up and running, “we go to India then we work on South Korea,” White said.
“We could have a show (in the USA) on Saturday night and five more going on in five other countries, That’s what’s going to eventually happen. It’s figuring this thing out, putting the pieces together, and like I said, it’s a work in progress. But I’m telling you guys, I said it years ago, and I’ve been saying it – how big this thing is going to be.”
“I think people are now really starting to realize how big this thing is really going to be.”
