TOKYO – On Saturday, the UFC visits hallowed ground in the MMA world: Saitama Super Arena, a 14-year-old multi-purpose venue that sits 20 miles north of downtown Tokyo in Saitama, Japan, and has seen more championship MMA bouts than any other building outside of Las Vegas. The UFC has visited the venue twice before, but between 2000 and 2007, Saitama Super Arena hosted 25 events promoted by PRIDE, a Japanese-based promotion that in 2007 was purchased by the UFC and saw most of its assets brought into the UFC fold. A marvel of modern engineering, Saitama Super Arena generally seats around 12,000 people for an MMA event but has been expanded on a handful of occasions to hold nearly 50,000 people.
