Could This Big Sporting Event Happen in Montana One Day?

If they planned it right, this could be one of the craziest events we see in Montana.

Sports and Montana

Montanans love participating, attending, and watching sports.

Montana might not have professional sports teams, but we love our local colleges and allegiances to regional sports teams.

Locals will sit at home or head to their favorite bar to watch football, hockey, and other sports during the year.

One of the most popular sports locals in Montana love watching is mixed martial arts.

UFC and Montana

Big Sky Country loves watching the UFC.

UFC is the biggest name in mixed martial arts.

They host events globally, and millions of fans watch their title fights monthly.

One of the most popular fighters in the UFC is from Montana.

'Suga' Sean O'Malley hails from Helena and lost his bantamweight belt at UFC 306 last week.

O'Malley will get another shot to get back his belt, but this got us thinking.

Why doesn't the UFC host that rematch in Montana?

The UFC has hosted multiple events in fighter's home states or countries.

Locals would go crazy for a UFC event in Montana.

Where would be likely locations?

Possible UFC Location in Montana

You would need a location that could fit a lot of folks and has fantastic views for everyone.

The Adams Center, MetraPark, and Brick Breeden Fieldhouse are likely contenders.

These venues have hosted mixed martial arts events, but a UFC event would take that to another level.

What if two other venues could make the UFC event better?

Could the UFC host a title fight at Bobcat Stadium or Washington-Grizzly Stadium?

We think so.

Just picture over 20,000 Montanans at either location cheering on Sean O'Malley. That would be a sight to see.

It would have to happen during the summer because of Montanan's weather.

If the WWE can host events in football stadiums, so can the UFC.

Let's make it happen!
