Event Notes: Development for Asian Games 2018 To Be Completed A Year Early

Indonesia Coordinating Human Resources Development & Culture Minister Puan Maharani said the Indonesian government "expects to complete infrastructure development for the Asian Games 2018 a year before it begins." Puan said, "Renovations of the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium will begin in late June 2016, and the athletes' village will begin construction in July 2016. All infrastructures should be ready by 2017" (JAKARTA GLOBE, 6/23).

Mixed martial arts "will return" to Asia. UFC Fight Night Manila "will be staged at the Philippine capital’s SM Mall of Asia Arena on Saturday, October 15, as the UFC attempts to spread its influence across Asia following its successful debut in Manila last May." Tickets "will go on sale in August and the line-up is still to be finalised" (SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST, 6/23).
