The rumored visit from the UFC to Mexico in April 2010 appears to be that just that – a rumor. But as UFC president Dana White tells it, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the organization will not go south of the border in 2010; according to White:

“No, (we won’t be in Mexico in April). But we’re trying to get Mexico in this year – do Mexico City.”

White further added that a new target date hasn’t been picked but that April was too soon.

White intimated that multiple trips to Canada may be possible, citing Montreal as a near certainty and also saying that Canadian fans could see a UFC event in their neck of the woods, adding:

“We’re going [to Vancouver], too. We could go anywhere in Canada, and it’s going to be big. Canada is such a huge market, and there’s so many Canadian fans, it’s insane.”

On the domestic front, White used the “We’re going everywhere” mantra; however, he mentioned Detroit as a possible destination, saying:

“We definitely want to go to Michigan, too. That’s the thing: We really are going everywhere. I know I say that all the time, but we really are. It’s just a matter of when. Of course, Detroit makes all the sense in the world to go to.”
