F*ck whether or not it’s American or not, we’ll simply make it worldwide, which is what I believe you virtually must do, and the UFC is a world sport. I don’t understand how a lot they’re going to care about that or not. Possibly they only make the largest fights that they’ll make.” [h/t: MMA Fighting]
