The Ultimate Fighting Championship has not hidden its desire to expand its brand across the world. The UFC has yet to return to Japan and Brazil, countries that they haven’t been to in many years, but they have recently expanded into Canada, following a strong building process in Northern Ireland and England.

I am a little surprised, I thought they would go deeper into Europe (Germany is a good call) and it would be really easy to have some shows in Mexico. Japan is a double edged sword though....need to be careful there!

Philippines is a good market. They have a strong fighting background and most of them can speak English, the only drawback is the poverty in the country may hold back attendance and buy rate figures.

I agree with you until the part about Japan. The Japanese fans are so respectful and knowledgeable of the sport, that I would expect huge things for the UFC if they went to Japan. The Japanese fans just seem like they crave MMA a lot.
