We’ve got some breaking news for our International fans. Apparently Dana White is going to get Fedor Emelianenko by any means necessary, as the UFC has begun construction on a new state-of-the-art stadium in the heart of Russia according to UFC.com (http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=18939).
Not coincidentally, construction begins today, APRIL 1. Not coincidentally, the project is expected to be completed on APRIL 1, 2010 — just in time for UFC 115.
From Dana:
“This is a big moment for the company and I couldn’t have picked a better day to announce this monumental event. I can’t wait for this Stadium to be finished and we’re even including the fans in the process by holding a contest on the Internet for people to choose the name of it.”
UFC 115 is expected to be held inside Thunderdome, which will be reconstructed inside the new stadium. Builders are asked not to blow that little whistle inside the dome, as it may have a damaging effect on the ears of Tim Sylvia.
More from the Prez:
“A Project like this Reaches millions In the Largest group of Fans in the sport. Out Of all the places in the world to put up a stadium, this was the only place for us, and we’re gonna Love Seeing the UFC here.”
News of this construction has already sent shockwaves throughout the mixed martial arts community. In order to become eligible for the Internet contest that allows you to choose a new name for the stadium, head over to UFC.com (http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=18939) post-haste.
