As the UFC Fan Expo gets ready to kick off their first ever show tomorrow from the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada the company that is behind the whole event Reed Exhibitions say that this Fan Expo will not be the last for the UFC and plan on holding more of them in potential future sites such as Canada and New York, you know if they ever get to finally regulating Mixed Martial Arts.

Ed Gallo of Reed Exhibitions is the director for this year’s UFC Fan Expo tells MMAjunkie.com Radio that the promotion is already looking in to make more Fan Expo’s in the future.

“We’re definitely going to do more,” Gallo said. “I could totally see a couple of year, if possible.”

“I definitely see Canada being a spot because those fans are probably the most passionate fans in the world,” Gallo said. “If New York can ever get their [expletive] together, can you imagine having a fight at Madison Square Garden, the first mixed martial arts there? It would be insane. Look for that maybe at the end of 2010.”

However, Gallo says that they are willing to put up these types of events for the UFC anywhere they want it to be whether it is in the midwest or down south which is great for the UFC as other major sports do these types of shows throughout the US as well.

This weekend’s UFC Fan Expo will have a big list of activities as training seminars, grappling tournaments, autograph sessions and of course meeting the fighters amongst other things will definitely prove to be a major hit. Especially, with UFC 100 to capping off the entire extravaganza this Saturday night.
