The UFC is holding a press conference today (Dec.13) for UFC 142: Rio. Just days after UFC 140, Dana White flew to Brazil to promote the organizations first show in 2012. UFC 142 is set to go down at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on January 14, 2012.
Dana White announced an exciting match-up earlier today via FOXSports.com. He announced that Jose Aldo will defend his featherweight title against Chad Mendes at UFC 142 in Brazil.
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.
What will they think of next? First a bottle opener on the bottom of flip flops and now on the back of a cell phone case. Yes you heard right, the back of a cell phone case. The company that makes these handy dandy gadgets is "Be A Headcase" and they are one of Kenny Florian's sponsors for his upcoming title fight against Jose Aldo at UFC 136.
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.
