UFC Des Moines looms. This Saturday, Dana White’s promotion touches down in Iowa for the first show in the state since June 9, 2000. White had yet to join the company at the time of the initial trip to Iowa and would not do so until 2001.
Wells Fargo Center, the home venue of the Iowa Barnstormers in the IFL, will be playing host to an event nearly 25 years in the making over the weekend. While the Barnstormers are away in Jacksonville on Saturday evening, competitive violence takes center-stage in the Barnstormers’ house for UFC Des Moines.
