UFC 101:Boston Event Confirmed
UFC 101 Post Fight Press Conference: Confirms Boston Event. According to reports, UFC fans may be getting their long anticipated wish. Dana White has confirmed plans to hold an event at Boston, which may be at Fenway Park (home of the Boston Red Sox).
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a U.S.-based mixed martial arts (MMA) organization. Dana White serves as the president of UFC, owned by casino-moguls Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta.
The UFC began as a single-event tournament in the early '90s, which sought out the world's best fighters, (with respect to the different styles, whether boxing, wrestling, kickboxing, karate, or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, among others). With limited rules, promoters marketed fighting in the UFC as "no holds barred" and contests were often violent and brutal.
The Boston event would be held sometime in 2010 if a recent bill approved by the State Senate gets signed into law by the end of 2009.
Today UFC has recently become one of mainstream media's most highly publicized and followed sport across the country and it's fan base has grown exponentially. And that's why I am writing this article! I'm on the band wagon now.
