After a season full of events in 2014, the UFC announced that it will maintain the momentum with several attractions next year. In a press conference held this Monday (17), the North American organization released the outline of the 2015 calendar, which will feature 45 attractions, just one less than seen in 2014.

Of these events, 13 will be so-called “numbered events”, which are broadcast in pay-per-view in the United States; four will be broadcast on open television by the North American broadcaster “FOX”, and the rest will be from the Fight Night line.

Brazil will repeat its visa in 2014 and will receive seven attractions next year, one of them in pay-per-view. Mexico will host two attractions, and Canada is expected to host “between three and five”. In addition, the organization also announced that it will enter markets such as Russia, the Netherlands, the Philippines, South Korea and Poland.

However, the calendar released by the organization does not show the locations of the events, and even the exact dates have not been confirmed.
