    Since retiring from the casino business UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta has been jetsetting all over the planet trying to get the UFC as global as possible.

    According to Dana White, Lorenzo has been to Dubai three times in the last month to get UFC on television there and to eventually set up a live event. As many of you know, the Abu-Dhabi Combat Club holds their world famous grappling tournament also takes place in the United Arab Emirates.

    Other locations that the UFC is getting into are The Philippines, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, elsewhere in Canada, Mexico, and possibly Japan and Brazil. Pretty crazy.

    Dubai would be a cool city to host a UFC event.
