The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) continues its quest for world domination after confirming that a future event will be staged from the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia, according to The Sydney Herald.
The venue, formerly known as the Sydney SuperDome, can seat up to 21,000 fans and was recently contacted by Zuffa about a possible date in February 2010, according to the report.
From UFC president of the British division Marshall Zelaznik:
“It’s going to happen, we’re coming. Planning is in effect, we’ve had a number of strategy meetings and we are on the verge of retaining some key partners in Australia.”
The arena is probably best known for playing host to gymnastics and basketball for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games as well as its frequent WWE wrestling shows.
Despite the recent confirmation, the Outback has long been on Zuffa’s radar…
