UFC President Dana White recently took to Twitter to provide the fans with a glimpse of the newly found UFC Performance Institute in Mexico. The images are quite magnificent, to say the least. The facility looks incredibly modern.
UFC Performance Institutes are some of the most advanced training institutes in all sports. The recent surge of Mexican fighters is the main driving force behind the promotion’s decision to open a center in the country. Tony Ferguson, Yair Rodriguez, the newly crowned bantamweight champion Brandon Moreno are some of the biggest Mexican stars in the UFC roster.
