UFC 85: Bedlam. Brandon "The Truth" Vera comes out wearing shorts designed like the Philippine flag. I have never seen a prettier thing. It just shows how proud Brandon is of his Filipino roots. He did lose to Fabricio Verdum because of an early stoppage which shouldn't have been. It was unfair. These guys train for months and months. They are well conditioned and ready to feel pain. The ref should have made them earn their paychecks. What's done is done though. Brandon is still a hero and inspiration to all Filipinos. I'm sure he'll come back from this.
More news!!!
UFC Eyeing Philippines, Germany, Australia
In addition to its status as one of the fastest-growing sports organizations in the United States, UFC is increasingly looking to expand into foreign markets, with a very successful show in Canada last month and one scheduled in England next month.
But UFC isn't stopping there. On a conference call Thursday to promote UFC 84, UFC President Dana White said he expects his organization to host shows in the Philippines, Germany and Australia soon, and that he's confident that mixed martial arts will be embraced in all three countries.
As White sees it, MMA is an easy enough sport to understand that UFC won't have to expend nearly as much capital on educating foreign fans about the sport as, say, the NFL has spent trying to attract European fans. That makes sense, and I have no doubt that UFC shows in all three countries could attract big audiences.
IT WOULD BE AMAZING TO HAVE THE UFC HERE!!! MMA has been booming in our country. Lots of competitions are coming out. And with UFC coming here to the Philippines, it would just add to the fast growing popularity of this sport in our country.
IF ANYONE FROM THE UFC IS READING THIS, THE PHILIPPINES IS READY!!!!!
