UFC 88 has not even taken place yet and tickets for UFC 90 are nearly sold out. The impressive number of advance ticket sales for the event that will only be held on October 25, near Chicago, made headlines on specialized websites. According to the Chicago Sun Times, more than 80% of the seats have been sold, and the sum collected is already over US$ 2 million.
Perhaps overcome with excitement for seeing the business become ever-more prosperous, Dana White declared his dream of seeing MMA become part of the Olympic program. “I hope I’m alive to see it. I don’t thing it will happen in the near future, but I also thought it would take a bit longer for us to get to where we are today… There is much work to be done, but seeing MMA in the Olympic Games would be incredible. If you combine judo, boxing and wrestling what do you get? That’s what MMA is,” declared the UFC top dog on the site Fanhouse.com.
