The UFC has no immediate plans to return to the Netherlands, according to UFC Senior Vice President of International and Content, David Shaw. Shaw highlighted that while the two events held in Rotterdam were successful, the permitting process in Amsterdam poses significant challenges.
Will the UFC Return to the Netherlands?
David Shaw met with the media this past weekend in UFC London and explained, “Amsterdam is always tough, challenging because the permitting process in Amsterdam is really onerous.” This complexity makes it difficult for the UFC to obtain the necessary permits, which is a major factor in their decision not to hold an event there soon.
