UFC’s Dana White On Holding Fight Event In France: ‘It Was The Last Place It Wasn’t Legal”

For UFC Prez Dana White, holding a UFC fight show in Paris, France is a beautiful thing.

Just like New York, which outlawed MMA fight events and UFC for many years, Paris and France also made their jurisdictions to UFC for a long time.

But no more.

The UFC bossman said the Las Vegas-based MMA fight show promoter said UFC is holding a fight event in France “because it was the last place it wasn’t legal.”

UFC is known for holding it fight shows around the globe and gets very testy when local government jurisdictions do not allow and sanction MMA events.

Case in point: the state of New York, which banned MMA shows and UFC events for many years.

“NY, Toronto and last but not least Paris, France,” as White told LVSportsBiz.com.
