After another raucous night of action at 3Arena the UFC boss can't be far off the mark.
Despite losing the top two fights on last night's UFC Dublin card, a huge crowd of Dublin fight fans left no doubt that Ireland's growing passion for MMA looks set to continue.
And while Dana White didn't find the time to face the media himself after the event, he made it clear that he is a huge fan of the city and its fight fans.
"When I was talking to Dana just after the fights," UFC spokesman James Elliott said. "He said he wanted me to let everyone to know he's travelled the world to all these shows and Dublin is without a doubt the best fight town on the planet."
Sounds like the UFC might not be long coming back to these shores.
