Following just two in 2015, UFC planning three events in Canada for 2016

After another year of events being pulled from the country, Tom Wright promises more events in the Great White North.

After a year of promised events going unfulfilled, the UFC is planning to return to Canada for three events in 2016.

Tom Wright, the UFC Managing Director for Operations in Canada, told MMA Junkie's Mike Bohn that the company is still very committed to the country once known as the mecca of MMA.

"I suspect you'll find in 2016, we'll probably go back to a couple markets where we have been before, and then we'll have a new market just like we did this year with Saskatoon," Wright says.
