MMA fanatics can only hope that ‘UFC Europe’ is more successful than NFL Europe or every other failed American sporting undertaking put on in Europe as the UFC 122 probabilities action brings back to the old continent for the 2nd time in fewer than a month.



Following holding the UFC 120 Main Event in Jolly Olde England the UFC is heading back to Europe to hold the UFC 122 Main Event, this time around in Germany.

Fresh on the heels of Oktoberfest the UFC 122 betting action should also be a huge hit and a excellent chance to distribute brand awareness in a non-traditional MMA market. The US has presently been won over by the MMA and so has Japan and different regions of Asia, and Brazil is maybe the largest hotbed of MMA in the world.

But Europe hasn’t been a key marketplace for the MMA or the UFC and that’s why Dana White and his group are making such an effort to make inroads here and have chosen to sponsor the UFC 122 probabilities competition at the Konig Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen Germany on November 13th, 2010.

But UFC fanatics not visiting the competition in Germany can be understood for being a bit troubled over the issue. You see, when the UFC Main Events are put on in a international place –with the exclusion of Canada- the quality of the fight card nosedives.

Nothing versus any of the competitors on the UFC 122 betting card, however when Nate Marquardt –who is a fantastic martial artist- is the headliner for a UFC Main Event, obviously something is not pretty right.

In reality, there will be championship bout at the UFC 122 probabilities competition and even the champion of the Main Event match up (Marquardt against Yushin Okami) is not even certain at a shot at the championship. This is more like a Major League competition with a minor league roster.

Granted, there should still be some excellent fighting action and we will most likely be presented to some up and coming competitors but this roster is certainly lacking with regards to name recognition and total talent.

Not just that, but the bout is actually being banned from being telecast in Germany. The German media has significantly belittled MMA as a sport, and the nation has gone as far as to bar minors from attending the 1st German UFC competition, UFC 99. A while back this year in March, Germany prohibited the sport from being telecast at all due to the fact the “extent of violence shown [is] unacceptable.” The UFC appears to take this almost as a challenge, declaring that they would keep going nevertheless and that not getting aired on TV is not going to stop them. The competition will still air by means of tape delay back in the United States on Spike TV. Even the fact that it will be airing somewhere other than pay-per-view makes it seem like the UFC is recognizing that this won’t be one of the better Main Cards they have put together.

Fortunately, the UFC 123 competition will be back in the US and filled with huge names and huge talent.
