The UFC’s second Performance Institute hasn’t even opened its doors yet, but we’re already thinking about even more. UFC officials recently announced that in addition to the original UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas, the promotion will in early 2019 open a second location in Shanghai, where the organization will look to foster the growth of talent in China, as well as all of Asia. The company is investing $13 million into the facility in hopes of developing a future UFC champion and growing the sport in the region. It’s a completely different approach than the the company uses at its Las Vegas outlet, which is designed for fighters currently on the roster and providing them services to help enhance and elongate their fighting careers. With all that in mind, we asked MMAjunkie Radio listeners to weigh in on future plans in our latest Daily Debate.
