The UFC has booked a date at Madison Square Garden for the end of 2015. Many things have to fall in place for the fight to happen but UFC President Dana White is optimistic.
“We don’t want to be cocky, but we’re being confident,” White said.
“I’m very, very confident it’s gonna happen.”
Dana Went on to elaborate on those comments:
“Imagine if we can do that this year,” White said. “We’re already having the greatest year we’ve had in the history of the company out of the gates here. And if everything holds together, people stay healthy, fights stay in place, we’re in for an unbelievable year and that would be a great way to top if off.”
MMA still has to be cleared by a board in NYC before any plans can become finalised but the possibility of a fight at the Garden is mind blowing.
Could we see a Brock Lesner title shot? CM Punk’s Debut? Chris Weidman fighting in his own backyard? Jon Jones-Cain Velasquez super fight? The possibilities are endless.
