UFC/StrikeForce coming to NJ???

Has anyone heard of any rumors of the UFC or StrikeForce coming to New Jersey... last year they both had events fairly early in the year.

In for a jersey UFC...or philly! Phone Post

anything on the east coast!... preferably NEW YORK :<br />

 Dude, we're lucky if we get 1 card a year. We're forgotten about by Zuffa. Jersey isn't worth shit to the UFC, despite the venues being filled every time they come.

 if you had 1 Ufc and 1 SF how the hell are you forgotten by Zuffa? That's more than most places get in 3 or 4 years.

Wahhhhhhhh.

New York fans don't want to travel to New Jersey for a card.

Boo hoo.

Jersey fans have been traveling to NYC forever to enjoy big events so why not enjoy the fact NYC can't have the UFC and Newark NJ gets to host.

It's a good thing.

Beats not being able to get a ticket because MSG is sold out and Jay Z has 20 seats on the floor next to Spike Lee and Justin Timberlake. Phone Post

And by a lot I'm talking about 10 or 11 events. Outside of Vegas, and Cali, I bet jersey is number 3 for total UFC events. Phone Post

 Sure, your number sounds about right if you factor in their total history. The fact is, since this sport blew up in in 2005-2006, go back and count how many times there has been a UFC card in NJ. In reality, the UFC during the SEG and early Zuffa era used NJ has a backbone to keep its business alive. We love the UFC here and did a decent job of demonstrating it.



Now, they have literally 2-3 events a month it seems and we're still lucky if we crack one NJ show a year, if that. It could be worse for sure, but given the fact they can't get into NY at all, you think they'd show a little more love here these days.

10 NJ UFC Events

1 NJ SF Event

frontrowbrian -  Newark NJ is rumored for August. 

Nice :-) Phone Post

Blott Scevins - 10 NJ UFC Events

1 NJ SF Event



 How many since 2005?



That Strikeforce one (which I went to) was booked at the venue prior to Zuffa purchasing Strikeforce, if I remember correctly. It's ok, Bellator comes here quite often so it'll have to do.

 Off the top of my head my guess is 4 or 5. That's a LOT compared to other states. Shit, chicago has a huge ppv market and we are only getting our second UFC event (UFC FOX 2). There are a lot of states with only 1 or 2 events in total. My guess is the order is Nevada, Cali, and new jersey for most frequented states for UFC events.

Is the august event possibly philly? Phone Post

And here we go!!!!!... From Dana's Twitter



Our 3rd FOX fight May 5th at the IZOD Center in New Jersey will feature Nate Diaz vs Jim Miller!!! Nate = 3 sub and 5 FON Jim = 3 SON!!

The UFC headed to NJ? Say it ain't so. Phone Post

 IZOD Center, not Prudential Center which is interesting.

 Scrap that. Not happening but NJ area fans will NOT be disappointed. I can't say much more right now.

 

Definitely NOT disappointed! :D

Bukkake -  IZOD Center, not Prudential Center which is interesting. 

Yeah I think the Prude is a nicer venue but the drive to Izod is quicker for me so I'm pumped for this one. Phone Post
