UFC exec Marc Ratner says July or August likely for UFC’s Boston debut

With the state of Massachusetts finally set to regulate MMA, the UFC apparently won't waste much time in heading to the Bay State.

UFC vice president Marc Ratner today told the Boston Herald that the organization plans on visiting Boston as soon as July.

"It was just a big celebration here," Ratner told the Boston Herald. "We're very bullish on the Northeast and Massachusetts. We're as excited to come to Boston as any city."
