You're joking right? You don't think the UFC really has interest in Japan?

Not nearly as much as other out of US markets. I think they scheduled this event just to put Japan on the list of places that they've been too. MMA interest seems to be declining in Japan while growing monstrous in Canada, Brazil, Mexico, etc. I don't expect to see them returning to Japan anytime soon after this

What your missing is the Available MMA market in Japan is declining leading to a decline in interest. When Pride was the best promotion in MMA, interest was peaked. Now the biggest promotion in MMA can respark that interest(revenue) and you think it's for a bullet point on a resume?

I would be extremely disappointed if Zuffa shared that point of view. Just like Rampage and many fighters have expressed over the years, the Japanese fans are great. They still have a passionate fan base that has a better understanding of MMA then most. Asian MMA is trying to rebound at the moment but they won't be down forever. Japanese fighters and fans aren't going anywhere. I think it is very important to the UFC.
