    That is insane.

    Rumor is they are close to securing another one in England, too.

    There is an MMA organization in China but I've never heard of a foreign fighter competing there before.

    I don't know how much of a market there is for this stuff but even if 0.1% (1 of 1000) of the population watches, that's 1.3-million.

    The UFC is guaranteeing UK fans that they'll have a broadcaster for UFC 100, which is good fucking news 'cause that's where I'll be. No way am I watching it on Yahoo.
