UFC President Dana White

UFC President Dana White, announced another expansion of the company’s reach in the U.S. market. In a recent interview with ESPN The Magazine, he stated that the UFC will hold an event in September in Atlanta, Ga. No venue was announced but rumors have it that the UFC will operate the September event at the Philips Arena, a 21,000-seat arena.

Here’s a snip from the interview:

Who will Chuck fight in September?
The fight is going to be in Atlanta, Georgia—that’s something we haven’t said publicly yet. There’s something no one else has heard. You have no idea some of the stuff that we have planned. I’m going to make an announcement next week that is going to blow people’s minds. That deal is done, but my employees don’t even know yet. I’m renting out a place next Thursday and I’m going to tell them. Then we’ll make the announcement later that day. It’s an indicator of where this business is going over the next five years.

We think a TV deal, Affliction vs. UFC … Any Guesses?
