“I like it”White said when listening to a press conference regarding the Real Madrid stadium as an option for future UFC events following Topuria’s proclamation as featherweight champion.
Before answering, a journalist asked him regarding the property of the greatest European champion and Dana, with intrigue, answered him with another question, “How many people come in?”.
The CEO’s interest intensified upon hearing regarding the capability (80 thousand people full)and the possibility of covering the stadium, for which he assured: “If there is an arena available, we will bring the UFC to Spain.” These statements, made minutes following Topuria’s victory, point to a possible expansion of the promoter in the country.
