October 21, 2016 // Franchising.com // Dubai, United Arab Emirates – UFC Gym® today announced that its flagship Middle East location will celebrate its grand opening on Saturday, October 22 in downtown Dubai.

“This is a monumental day for us, as our vision is now a reality,” UFC Gym Chief Executive Officer Hamad Al Sayer said. “UFC is the fastest growing sports brand in the world and our locations will offer fight fans in Dubai a unique opportunity to train like mixed martial artists. The response we’ve received from our residents has been amazing and we look forward to making this location the best Gym in Dubai.”

Located in Bay Square within Business Bay, this 23,000 square foot facility is highlighted by UFC’s world-famous a 24-foot Octagon®, strength training and cardio machines, battle ropes, agility ladders, bag room, large mat areas featuring Brazilian jiu-jitsu, wrestling, and other martial arts for youth and adults. The Gym’s explosive workout environment uses cutting-edge training techniques inspired by UFC athletes and provides members with everything needed for the entire family to sweat, move, live and Train Different®.

“The Middle East is a very important market for UFC Gym and we are tremendously comfortable knowing we have the right partners in place to realize that potential,” UFC Gym Chief Operating Officer Brent Leffel said. “The response we’ve received regarding this facility has been incredible and that’s a testament to Hamad’s team. They’ve embraced our unique fitness concepts and as a result have elevated our brand to another level.”

“Since our soft opening earlier this year, we’ve received great feedback from our members and have outperformed our targets in all of our pre-launch forecasts, UFC Gym – Middle East Chief Operating Officer George Yiasemides said. “We have amazing members along with a fantastic facility, which has proven to be both a great and successful balance. We can’t wait for the remaining residents of Dubai to experience our Gym!”

UFC® middleweight champion Michael Bisping, who recently announced the pending opening of his own UFC Gym location in Costa Mesa, California, will be on hand as a special guest to greet fight fans and future members to the Middle East’s first UFC Gym location.

“It’s no surprise people love working out in our Gyms because they replicate the environment of UFC in so many ways,” Bisping said. “The concept is authentic, the music is loud, the aggression is respectful and the overall environment is amazing. As a fight fan, it’s impossible not to get sucked in!”
