Dana White Finally Realizes The East Coast Is An Oasis Away From Vegas

Now Zack Arnold tries to point out that Las Vegas is cooling off for the UFC citing high comped ticket numbers for UFC 106 and 108.  However, I'd like to think that those two cards are poor examples to use simply because both cards were really good cards initially, but injuries and the lack of a Brock Lesnar were the culprits there.  If the original cards were have taken place, I'm pretty sure both events would have done better numbers.  In the event that Las Vegas is actually cooling off to the UFC, the east coast would be a great place to hold cards.  As White points out in the video, UFC 101 in Philly did well, Fight For The Troops here in NC did well, UFN 20 in Virginia just did well, and UFC 88 in Atlanta did decently with a card with no title on the line.

He also goes on to say that the UFC will come back to the DC area within the next year or so and hold a PPV.  Again, if he were to bring a PPV to North Carolina, they would not be disappointed either.

I can't wait

It was an awesome night of fights and an awesome crowd. I hope they bring the next one to the Verizon Center! My only sticking point is that they don’t call it “Capitol Punishment”… Other than that, BRING IT ON!

I'm the kind of girl who loves to watch a GOOD fight!

The UFC really needs to push for sanctioning in NY, pretty much guaranteed mass success.

PS
More events up here in Canada please Mr White. MMA is about the only thing that doesn’t cool off up here and tickets always sell out within a few hours of going on sale. Bring it Baldo, we love a good scrap up here in the frozen north.

help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs...
