Las Vegas, Nevada – The Ultimate Fighting Championship organization returns to FUEL TV tomorrow with what UFC president Dana White called one of the best televised cards of the year.
All 22 fighters have weighed-in, and are ready to fight tomorrow.
Emanating from the Capital FM Arena in the historic City of Nottingham, England, the FUEL TV televised event features six sick fights including a heavyweight eliminator, a clash between a hometown hero and an Ultimate Fighter winner, an all-British welterweight battle, a bantamweight clash between a top five contender and an exciting talent looking to make a name for himself, an undefeated lightweight prodigy taking on a four-time ‘fight of the night’ winner, plus, a throwdown between two ‘bombs away’ welterweight punchers.
“If you don’t think this is a great card – you know nothing about mixed martial arts because this card is awesome,” said White. “The main event between Struve and Miocic is awesome and the winner of this fight becomes a top five heavyweight. These are the fights you have to win to get the world title – and it should be a great fight. These two have gone to a decision only once each – it could be the fight of the night. But I could say that about all the fights, though. You could throw a dart at the card and hit the fight of the night. Dan Hardy always, always brings it, and so does Amir Sadollah. That should be great too, especially with Dan fighting in front of his hometown fans.
“John Hathaway vs John Maguire should be sick, too. Both of them are right there looking to break into the top of the welterweight division – and whenever you’ve got two Brits fighting it always seems to wind up a great fight. And when have you ever seen Brad Pickett (who fights Yves Jabouin at bantamweight) in a bad fight? Paul Sass has huge potential, and he’s fighting a tough guy in Matt Wiman. Plus, Che Mills and Duane Ludwig are going to throw bombs. Top to bottom, this is a fight fan’s card – and it’s free on FUEL TV.”
