UFC exec Dave Shaw dishes on Czech Republic debut, international plans for 2019

PRAGUE – The UFC’s goal every year is to expand the strength of its operations across the globe. That’s no different for 2019, and it starts with a trip to a new country today for UFC on ESPN+ 3 in Prague.

The octagon makes its debut in Prague in its first trip across the pond so far this year. It’s a key moment for the company, and UFC Senior Vice President of International and Content, Dave Shaw, said he’s proud to play a part in making it happen.

Shaw said UFC on ESPN+ 3 is one of “six or seven” fight cards that could unfold in Europe this year, but the organization doesn’t intend on stopping there when it comes to operations outside of the home base in the U.S.

Watch the video above as Shaw discusses the UFC’s Czech Republic debut and other international plans for the coming year.
