Dana White continues to push for event in Abu Dhabi

(via MMAjunkie.com) · November 15, 2009 · 6:33 PM

Following the successful UFC 105 event in Manchester, England this weekend, UFC president Dana White addressed a desire he's made in the past about taking the organization to Abu Dhabi.

White informed the media that he was sending a crew to Abu Dhabi this week and is 'confident' that an event can be organized.

"We're sending some of our crew there tomorrow," White said. "They're flying out of here in the morning, and it looks like we're going to do a fight in Abu Dhabi. That's what we're trying to do.

"We're trying to figure out how this thing we'll work. I don't have a deal, but I'm pretty confident that we're going to make one."
