Dana White reveals he wants to take the UFC to all new places in 2025
Dana White has been able to host events in multiple countries of the world including the Far East country, Singapore. He is also in pursuit of taking the UFC to all new locations in the upcoming year.
White appeared in an interview with TNT Sports where he revealed his plans to host events in places they had never been to before. Apart from that, he also expressed his excitement towards witnessing the new talents that will come up through the Dana White Contender Series in 2025. White said:
"I'm looking to go to territories that we haven’t been to. What’s big about next year is our rights deal is up, so that’s going to be very interesting to see how this plays out over the next 12 months, because that will play out in the next year. So, um, there’s really big things working with the UFC right now, you know. Not just territories we haven’t been to, we’re [also] looking at new deals, and obviously, you know, the talent that came off this season of the Contender Series. Every year, it’s fun to see who’s going to do."
