Regarding the future White broke news of where the next UFC Gym is going to be and that is Rosemead, CA which would have been easier on all if he just said LA.

Further plans included a BJ Penn branded UFC Gym in Hilo and a Georges St-Pierre branded UFC Gym in Montreal and possible even a Chuck Liddell UFC Gym too.
