Just when you think the UFC has broken new ground in the fight industry, it comes up with something even crazier. Saturday�night, Dana White added more details of�Dave Meltzer's report that the promotion will present two fight cards on Feb. 26, 2012.
The great news for fans is that you'll get to see both and they won't overlap.
The UFC is hitting Japan for the first time since 2000. The 2012 card at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, will air live in the U.S. during the afternoon. At night, the UFC will offer another loaded pay-per-view card in Las Vegas. The Japan card, which White says will be stacked, will air on free television and serve as a lead-in to the PPV card.
"The thing that we don't do, and what boxing did a long time ago, is when the pay model started they started putting [expletive] fights on free TV and nobody ever wanted to watch it anymore," White explained to the gathered media at the UFC on Versus 6 postfight press conference (1:39 mark - NSFW). "We don't ever put [expletive] fights on free TV."
Many of the fighters the UFC acquired in the PRIDE deal have expressed a desire to fight on the Japan card including Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.
