When the news came up of UFC coming to Germany in June, the german website reported that Randy Couture is already booked for the TV-show TV-Total one week before UFC 99 is going to be held. This show is hosted by Stefan Raab as some of you may know.
The Lanxess Arena is a pretty good venue, although I think that the upper area ( those parts higher located than the VIP cabins) will be closed for the actual event.They used to do that for international music acts already.
To sum everything up I don't think that we are talking about more than 10.000 seats for an event like this.
Concerning the commentator they are hopefully able to get one from Eurosport.Hopefully it won't be those two who commentate WWE here in Germany.At the moment the only option is Tobias Drews, a german box commentator but he is boring as hell.
Nevertheless I am looking forward to UFC 99, although I have a certain feeling that Germany's yellow press will be all over this '' brutal inhuman modern gladiator stuff''.
In Germany it is really hard to organize an event like this because MMA simply has no lobby.
We'll see......
