UFC may finally hold event in the Philippines in 2012

The UFC may finally make their first trip to the Philippines in 2012. In a press conference today in Quezon City, UFC-Asia's senior media director Kevin Chang revealed that they're working with major network ABS-CBN to bring an event to the region next year.

"There's a chance the UFC will hold fights in the Philippines. The UFC is working it out with ABS-CBN and Balls, maybe next year," he said (via PhilStar.com).

A UFC event in the Philippines has been a topic of discussion for several years now, but with the expansion into Japan, and the discussion of an Ultimate Fighter season in the Philippines as well, 2012 may finally be the year for the organization to make their debut.
