UFC lightweight Norman Parke lives just about an hour’s drive from Belfast, Northern Ireland, where the UFC held a single event seven years ago. Now that the promotion has returned to Dublin, he’d like the promotion to come back to his neck of the woods. “We just asked (UFC President) Dana (White that at the end of the bout,” said Parke (20-2-1 MMA, 4-0-1 UFC), who hails from Bushmills, Northern Ireland, after his impressive second-round TKO of Naoyuki Kotani (33-11-7 MMA, 0-3 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 46.
