Die UFC plant offenbar weiterhin viel mehr Shows abzuhalten wie die 36 UFC Shows 2012 (3 Shows pro Monat). UFC President Dana White meinte dazu:“The bottom line is as we start kicking off all these 'Ultimate Fighters' in other countries, it's going to open up the floodgates for a lot more fighters, and guys are going to need a lot more experience. So, we're working on it. Lorenzo and I were literally talking about this before the show started tonight, and we're coming up with some ideas on how to – believe it or not – do more events so that we can feed these markets that are dying for it. The U.K. keeps terrorizing us. Ireland is part of it, but (we're) going back to Ireland, too. And Scotland. A guy here tonight was asking about Norway. Germany we haven't been back to. Every time we got to Australia, it's insane. There are a lot of markets that are starved. India – we're going to go to India. The list goes on and on and on. China we were talking about tonight, too. But we're working on figuring out how to feed all these markets so they don't have to wait so long.”
Wie es also aussieht wird es ab 2013 noch mehr UFC Shows im Jahr geben, ausserdem gibt es Ideen zwei Shows an einem Tag etwa abzuhalten und regionale Champions einzufuehren. So koennte es neben dem UFC Heavyweight Champion, auch einen UFC European HW Champion und UFC South American HW Champion geben, als Beispiel. Dana White dazu:“We talked about regional champions. We talked about rankings – just like boxing, guys ranked in other countries. So you end up being ranked. I don't know. You have UFC champions, and then you have guys that are ranked in different countries. It absolutely makes sense. In the big picture, long-term, it absolutely makes perfect sense.”
