New York and Canada targeted for future UFC Fan Expo sites

(via MMAjunkie.com) · July 10, 2009 · 2 AM

The UFC's first-ever Fan Expo — the two-day extravaganza filled with top named fighters, demonstrations and key note speeches from UFC brass that starts today at Mandalay Bay — certainly won't be the company's last according to director Ed Gallo.

"We're definitely going to do more," Gallo told told MMAjunkie.com Radio. "I could totally see a couple of year, if possible."

"I definitely see Canada being a spot because those fans are probably the most passionate fans in the world," Gallo said. "If New York can ever get their (expletive) together, can you imagine having a fight at Madison Square Garden, the first mixed martial arts there? It would be insane. Look for that maybe at the end of 2010."
