UFC is reportedly considering a purchase of the naming rights for the new 20,000-seat arena currently being built in Las Vegas, according to KLAS-TV's Chris Maathuis (h/t MMAJunkie).
The arena, which is set to open in April of next year and will host UFC 200, is expected to trigger a serious battle for its naming rights, and per Maathuis, UFC is already in discussion with MGM Resorts International and AEG Live, who own the facility:
Part of UFC's enormous international appeal is the fact fights are being staged all over the world, but plenty of the organisation's marquee events have been held in Las Vegas, which has emerged as something of a centre for combat sports in the last two decades.
