Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White broke a major story in
THE CHICAGO SUN TIMES with the announcement that UFC 90 would
take place on October 25th at the Allstate Arena in Chicago.
In the story, which can be read in its entirety HERE , White commented ''Chicago is a huge market for us ...
We track pay-per-view buys for our events and ratings on Spike
TV, and Chicago is a killer market for us ... There are tons of fans in Chicago
and around Chicago, and it's going to be one of the places we hit often. It's a
great fight town, and we're really pumped that we're finally getting this
done.''
The exclusive story, written by Roman Modrowski, states UFC waited
until its event could be sanctioned by the Illinois Athletic Commission before
scheduling a show in the state. Wording had to be changed in Illinois laws to
allow the commission to regulate mixed martial arts. UFC events will operate
under the same safety guidelines as boxing and other sports.
In a very smart comment by White, the UFC prexy noted ''We only
go to places with strong athletic commissions,'' White said. ''We'll never go to
a place where [MMA] isn't legal yet.''
