UFC announce their return to Japan on March 3rd

UFC President Dana White said earlier in the week:

“After an amazing event last February, we’re excited to bring the UFC back to Japan for the second year in a row. Japan has such a big fan base that we knew we couldn’t stay away for too long. I can’t wait to get back to Japan in March!”

Managing Director of UFC Asia Mark Fischer, said:

“It was a tremendous achievement to bring the UFC to Japan last February and I am looking forward to our return following the success of that event. Our Japanese fans have been supportive of this sport for many years and we are delighted to bring them, once again, a great card and the opportunity to view the best talent and production this sport has to offer. Our next event at Saitama Arena on March 3 will continue to showcase how popular the UFC and mixed martial arts has become on the global stage.”
