I know, I'm french. MMA school have been here for years even when it was illegal under the cover of "karate and jiu jitsu" school. You'd just go there and train MMA.
Now they can be labelled as such but that's it. We are still far away from a UFC event in Paris.

That's because it was UFC on FX 3. The Headliner was Johnson vs. McCall 2 with a Co-Main of E. Silva vs. Brenneman. Can't expect that to sell very well, especially when you put it in Ft. Lauderdale instead of a city like Tampa, Orlando, or Miami.
