The Ultimate Fighting Championship, beyond celebrating its diverse pool of Mexican fighters, is investing heavily in the next generation of fighters from the region. Persisting with that vision, the freshly inaugurated UFC Performance Institute in Mexico will feature a full-time academy that will start with 20 athletes and grow to 25 by the third year.
UFC Fight Night 237, which went down Saturday at Arena CDMX in Mexico City, exemplifies this enduring vision. The atmosphere at Arena CDMX has always been dynamic and spirited whenever the UFC comes to the city, and after a nearly five-year absence, Saturday night was no different.
