UFC on FS1 #1 will take place at the TD Garden in Boston on August 17th and the UFC has announced that tickets for the fight card will go on sale this week.
This card will be headlined by a five round light heavyweight bout as former UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (21-7) faces Chael Sonnen (28-13-1).
“We’re finally coming back to Boston and we’re bringing the most stacked card in UFC history,” said UFC President Dana White. In the main event, former UFC light heavyweight champion Shogun Rua takes on Chael Sonnen, who once again stepped up and asked for a big fight. Then we habe Alistair Overeem vs. Travis Browne in a heavyweight fight. Both of those guys have heavy hands, so I expect someone to get knocked out!”
“The rest of the card is loaded with exciting fights, including Urijah Faber vs. Yuri Alcantara, Matt Brown vs. Thiago Alves, Boston’s Joe Lauzon vs, Michael Johnson, Uriah Hall vs. Nick Ring, and Irish superstar Conor McGregor vs. Andy Ogle. Boston, we’re coming back on August 17!”
