UFC to come to SLC

Dana White

"We have so many places to go and finally it's Utah's time," he said. "Once we get in there and test the market and see how it does, if it tests well, we'll be there all the time."

"The Boss" of UFC has his sites on the Bee Hive State! In a recent interview with The Salt Lake Trib, the king of violent money, Dana White, discusses everything from the UFC's first fight in UTAH at Energy Solutions Arena on Aug. 1st., to his prediction that UTAH will become a huge breeding ground for future fighters.

-So could Utah turn into that same kind of breeding ground? White didn't pause. "It's gonna happen,".-

DeMarques Johnson

He also touches on his wildly popular T.V. show "The Ultimate Fighter", in which a bunch of up and coming fighter learn skills, relate to one another, and of course FIGHT! The final result being a champion that Dana can promote into the UFC family of professional fighters.

This is a great entry into the sport if you haven't seen many fights. It has guest appearances by big name fighters and explains some of the basics of UFC. 

Dana was quick to point out that one of the recent finalists, DaMarques Johnson, was from UTAH and had the chance to be a "...rock star in a couple years!".

Dana White is a crazy dude, and the fact that he is putting this in UTAH is exciting if you are a UFC fan. If your not, I could see how it could be a little scary... but if you've ever even been slightly interested in Boxing, give this a chance! It is as exciting and fast paced as anything out there!

"Let's get it on!"
