UFC Set for massive fight card in MELBOURNE

[Neddysmith]

With the State election run and won by the Labour party and their promise of overturning a ban on allowing the sport of MMA to be conducted in a cage, the UFC is set to announce a massive fight card for the first event to be held in Melbourne.

Well not entirely right now, BUT the Labour party said that if they got in power they would be making it legal to hold MMA events in a cage is per NSW.

So I guess everyone is just waiting for them to I guess be sworn in and make it legal, BUT I would be assuming that the UFC have to plan well in advance and therefore were in talks with everyone involved in case this happens so planning would be well under way.

Hector vs current WW champ for the title is my prediction

No point trying to guess the card. There will be about 20 injuries and changes between now and then.
