UFC comes to the Netherlands.

[Grijswaarde]

Loosely translated:

"According to journalist Jens Olde Kalter, UFC will make his Dutch debut on may 8. On twitter he said, via an anonymous source, that the city of Rotterdam gave a permit to the UFC to host an event there. No official statements have been made by the parties involved.

This saturday the Swedish website kimura.se already mentioned UFC would come to Rotterdam in april. After that there would be the first UFC event in Croatia in may. Those weren't the first signals that UFC was planning their debut in the Netherlands. James Elliot (CEO UFC-Europe) already said last year during an interview with mmafighting.com that the Netherlands was high on the priority list.

Olde Kater also mentioned UFC will make an announcement this month. Ahoy Rotterdam is expected to be the venue where the event takes place"

Not that interesting for most US Sherdoggers i guess.. but stil worth the mention. Sorry if the translation is not perfect, but i think it is ok

I guess he would. Different commission here. Would be huge lol.

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

It will happen

 

[waldywaldy]

I don't even give a fuck who's fighting. It will be the biggest mma fight in Holland since Dirty Bob fought Ice Cold Igor over a decade ago. This Sherbro was there to see that and will be there to see this.

Special guest commentator please..

This will be great. Fighting in a Cage is not allowed in the netherlands at the moment but i'm sure they'll find a way around that. I'll be watching that card live for sure.

Semmy Schilt vs Stefan Struve

Book it Joe Silva!

 

[Ragnarocker]

Overeem vs Miocic for #1 contender should be on this card. Also Mousasi/Hall 2. Lots of good Dutch talent, it's about time.

 

[Andretti]

I'll consider flying out for this if it's a good main event. I love Netherlands!

 

[Hardcor'O'Death]

miocic/overeem

Struve/crocop

Khalidov/Manuwa

Pearson/Siver

 

[ArtemV]

I hope some Swedes are on this card. Where are they at?

Ah , you're right! Should read my own site more often good news!

 

[SUBLIME FAN]

Overeem vs Miocic, Hunt, or Arlovski

 

[screaminleeman]

Netherlands at first glance looked like:

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Reem vs Stipe if Cain beats Werdum and forces the immediate horrible rubber match.

Also, yes, Moose will be on the card. What other Dutch fighters does the UFC have? Either way, they'll put all of the European talent on that card like they always do. So we'll probably see Gus fight on that card too.

 

[Fanu]

I hope UFC comes to Croatia and brings miocic
they would sell out in minutes.

reem and struve on the card
