Still TBA mate - bit more info tho... good news is as its anumbered event and not a fight night we will have the full works - fan interaction events, all the light, camera n action - and a lot of action as the card looks decent so far (see the sky sports report below) SKY SPORTS UFC will return to England in November when Chris Leben clashes with Mark Munoz in Birmingham. UFC 138 will be held at the LG Arena on November 5, with the Leben v Mark Muñoz the first five-round non-title fight to headline the series. "Two of the middleweight division's heaviest hitters will go to war in the UFC's first ever non-title 5 round main event as the 'Filipino Wrecking Machine' Mark Munoz takes on Chris 'The Crippler' Leben," said UFC president Dana White. Munoz has established himself as a middleweight contender in his last outing, beating Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace Demian Maia by unanimous decision for his third victory in a row. However Leben will be looking to put an end to Munoz's winning streak. "The Crippler" was last seen in the octagon at UFC 132 where he made short work of PRIDE veteran Wanderlei Silva, knocking him out in just 27 seconds. As well as Leben against Munoz, British prospect Brad Pickett will be taking on Renan Barão, a Brazilian fighter who has gone undefeated in his last 26 fights. TELEGRAPH It’s official. There will be a UFC event in the UK in 2011, and it will be in Birmingham on Nov 5 at the LG Arena. It will not be a Fight Night, but will be UFC 138. UFC fans can now rejoice after it appeared that, due to programming and venue bookings, there might be a barren year for the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s growing legion of fans on British shores this year. Although details are yet to be finalized, as regards the main event and the fighters signed for the card, it is understood that it will definitely be UFC 138. As for possible protagonists at the event, Brad Pickett has been tweeting he has been told he will be fighting in October, but why not push that back one week and have him face the likes of Uriah Faber, or Miguel Torres ? Along with Michael Bisping, Pickett is arguably the British fighter closest to a title shot in the UFC. Marshall Zelaznik, UFC UK vice-president, told The Telegraph yesterday: “I’m very happy to announce UFC 138 will be bringing fireworks to Birmingham on November 5. The last time the UFC was in the second city was UFC 89 in October 2008, and we are very happy to be going back there this bonfire night.” Ticket information will be coming soon. |
