The announcement was made that UFC 131 will be taking place in Toronto in late April. So my question is, where does that leave UFC 129 and 130? Im hoping they will be in late March and early April, respectively. That would mean we get 4 events in 2 months. Hopefully this happens
I wouldn't put it past them lol

There will be no 129, and 130 events. The UFC is skipping a few so they can make millions off of UFC 200 sooner than later.

I'd expect a return to the UK to be before July, so hopefully back here. Apparently the UFC have been looking at getting a show in Scotland, which would be pretty much perfect for me.

I can just imagine that atmosphere. I can't wait til I can afford to fly over seas to events in Europe and the Middle East. I wanna go so bad to the Brazil card.

I'm glad I'm living up to your low expectations of me
Dana called me and asked if they could do 129 in my backyard. I was all for it but my neighbors a d--- and called neighborhood watch on the UFC and now they gotta do it somewhere else.

Expect one of them to be in Atlanta and one to be overseas.
The one oversears will possibly be the UK or Abu Dhabi.

Isn't UFC 128 already going to Abu Dhabi?

Would work for me too!
All this talk of the Toronto card has got me thinking though. UFC 131 takes place the weekend of my 21st birthday, with the fan expo starting on my birthday. I've always wanted to visit Canada and this is all getting a little too tempting. Hmm. Decisions, decisions.
Don't expect anything less than a huge year for UFC in 2011. Dana has already said that Zuffa is planning 30+ events next year and TV deals are coming. Normally, I'd call bulls--- since his announcements are usually better for business rather than fans, more or less, but I'd I won't doubt him any longer after the WEC/UFC Merger.
I also wouldn't expect many more roster cuts regarding any divisions other than lightweight. In fact, unless a great portion of LW's are fat lazy bastards, I expect a decent percentage of 155 lbers to drop to 145 lbs. I also anticipate 145 lbers to drop to 135 and if the UFC adds Flyweights, then 135 lbers to 125 lbs. I think the next 6-12 months will be a weird transitional phase for the UFC's lighter weight classes, for that matter.

Forgot about 128.
So that probably means UK and Atlanta then.
Maybe they do a couple stateside though.
