opening of a brand new UFC building in China, officially titled the UFC
Performance Institute Shanghai.
Per a press release, it is being touted as “the world’s largest, state-of-the-art MMA training and
development facility.” It is a 93,000 square-foot facility that is
expected to serve the same purpose for the fighters as the original Las
Vegas iteration of the PI.
PI Shanghai will act as the UFC’s headquarters in Asia, with UFC employees assisting athletes with
fitness, nutrition, and physical therapy. Officials already put the new
PI to use with a two-day UFC Academy Combine at the start of the week,
which saw officials bring in approximately 50 athletes to gauge whether
they have an aptitude for a future career in MMA. Categories that were
considered included grappling, striking, wrestling, cognitive
evaluation, strength, and combat agility, among others. UFC strawweight
stars Jessica Andrade and Weili Zhang were also on-site in Shanghai for
the opening ahead of their Aug. 31 bout in Shenzhen, China. Andrade will
be seeking the first defense of her UFC title when she meets Zhang in
the main event.
