UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria explained why holding a UFC tournament in Spain is unlikely.
According to Topuria, the main reason is television rights. To organize a numbered tournament outside the US, the broadcast must be in prime time for American audiences. This means that for Spain, the tournament would start at 4-5 am.
“I don`t think it`s realistic to hold a tournament at night. Even for me, as an athlete, it`s unacceptable. I already had an experience of performing in similar conditions in Abu Dhabi, and I wouldn`t want to repeat it,” KOlmeneroMMA quotes Topuria as saying.
