Will Court McGee be the face of a UFC Amish Expansion?

Amish-paradise_medium

With Court McGee's victory at The Ultimate Fighter Finale UFC officials finally feel that they have the necessary face to expand into another market -- Amish country.

Court McGee and his deceivingly quaint look represents a unique opportunity for the UFC to expand into a previously untapped market. Much like the promotion used Michael Bisping to push a U.K. product Zuffa officials quietly confirmed to WKR that the next phase of their international expansion effort will focus solely on the Amish.

"We're taking this thing everywhere," said UFC President Dana White when asked about the potential event. "This is just the latest example of how this is going to be the biggest sport in the world," continued White.

While some might question the decision to hold UFC events in the pacifist Amish community but that's where Vice President of Regulatory Affairs, Marc Ratner steps in. Speaking to WKR, Mr. Ratner expressed his confidence that the UFC lobbying effort within the Amish community would be successful in amending long held religious beliefs to allow the cage combat fighting in Amish country.

Some critics believe that such a decision is folly as the Mennonite community represents a lower hanging fruit for the UFC to tap but Dana White disagrees. "Have you seen Court McGee?" said the UFC president, "he's no Mennonite , he's 100% Amish. This is going to work just like a UFC show in Salt Lake on Sunday!"

If you haven't figured it out yet this is satire.

“…an Amish with a ‘tude – you know that’s unheard of – I never wear buttons – but I got a cool hat – and my homies agree I really look good in black – if you come to visit you’ll be bored to tears – we haven’t even paid the phone bill in 300 years – ….”

@JoeSilva now all we need is a fucking jehovah’s witness. UFC 120 Battle for the Bible. The fans are going to fucking love it.

Well, anybody who knows me knows I'm no fan of dictionaries or reference books. They're elitist. Constantly telling us what is or isn't true. Or what did or didn't happen.
