The UFC holds strong that any event run by them will always be inside the CAGE and not in a boxing ring which is currently the law in Victoria who link MMA and CAGE fighting as unsafe.

"The Octagon is designed to ensure the safety of Athletes, official and spectators.
The fencing keeps all high-impact action contained securely inside the competition area. The image of the sport, The 'CAGE', is purpose to be the reason behind the entirely subjective legislative decision, a move that completely overlooks the key issue of fighter safety".


Earlier this week Wright met with staff of the Victorian government Sports Ministry to tour Etihad Staidum and discuss the future plans the UFC has in place.
Involving the next Instalment of The Ultimate Fighter Australia which is rumoured to be Australia Vs Canada set to go ahead early 2014.
Wright is also heading around the Gum tree to push UFC into other states and promote the Fuel Tv Card coming to our shores in December.
