Las Vegas, Nevada – Tickets for the highly anticipated UFC® JAPAN: EDGAR vs. HENDERSON are on sale now to fans worldwide. This historic event takes place at the Saitama Super Arena, in suburban Tokyo, on Sunday, Feb. 26, 2012.
The UFC is set to take stage in Japan for the first time in nearly a decade. The organization will be heading over seas on February 25, 2012 and in the main event will be a lightweight showdown between Frankie Edgar and Ben Henderson.
Last month during the UFC 137 festivities, MMASucka.com's Nick King had the chance to chat with Gray Maynard. In case you don't remember, Gray mentioned that he would be traveling to the Bay Area. Nick then mentioned AKA and how they were savages, which was the first hint of Gray moving training camps.
With a sport that has been proven time and time again that anything can happen, the UFC 136 bout card was put together to manufacture a guaranteed win for all fans. If you're the type that picks and chooses which events to watch at home, this one was a no-brainer to get the most bang out of your 59.99 HD pay-per-view bucks. We knew that the main event was going to be as epic as a Hollywood movie fight scene. We knew that Kenny Florian was going to be the toughest test Jose Aldo was going to face. We knew Chael was going to spit some outrageous banter once he had a chance to grab a mic. We knew that we were going to want to see Phan versus Garcia fight a third time, even though they haven't yet fought the second time. Kudos again to Joe Silva. Job well done. My turn to take a crack at picking who's next for the winners and losers of last night.
The stacked card that is UFC 136 is upon us. Today, fighters will take to the octagon at The Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. The card is headlined by the trilogy fight between Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard for the UFC Lightweight Title. In the co-main event is another title fight, this time for the Featherweight strap and it pits champion Jose Aldo against Kenny Florian.
The UFC will be holding a Pre-Fight Press Conference today (Oct.5) for Saturday nights UFC 136: Edgar vs. Maynard 3 event. The Press Conference is scheduled to begin at 9am PT/12pm ET live from The Toyota Center in Houston, which is also where Saturdays card will take place.
