5 European countries the UFC needs to visit in the post-COVID 19 era
At UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs. Aspinall, the premium MMA promotion returned to England with an electric event at the O2 Arena. The atmosphere was a breath of fresh air considering the huge amount of Fight Night cards that have taken place in the near-empty Apex Arena as of late.
With arenas opening up and restrictions being lifted all across the world now, the UFC will no doubt begin to hold events outside the US on a regular basis. In the following list we break down five European countries the UFC needs to visit in the post-COVID 19 era. Honorable mentions go to Wales, Germany, and Holland.
#5. UFC Scotland
After Paul Craig submitted Nikita Krylov at the O2 Arena, the dangerous Scot immediately called for a main event fight against Anthony Smith at a Scotland event this coming June.
Whilst it seems that Smith will be fighting Magomed Ankalaev next, there is no reason why Craig should not headline an event in Scotland. Jan Blachowicz, Dominick Reyes, and Thiago Santos could all be worthy dance partners for the 'Bearjew.'
Joanne Wood and Casey O'Neil would also both no doubt thrive fighting in front of home fans, having spent the past few years of their MMA careers exclusively fighting in front of US crowds.
