These bloody UFC fans are everywhere. They’re in the lift, in the lorry, in the bond wizard, and all over the malonga gilderchuck.
On November 14th, the world’s largest MMA promotion will be heading down under for UFC 193 in Melbourne.
The highly anticipated card is expected to be headlined by a huge title fight. Robbie Lawler and Carlos Condit have been lined up to slug it out in the main event with the welterweight belt going on the line.
It is understood that the UFC is also lining up an exciting rematch between Mark Hunt and Bigfoot Silva, who’s first bout, a five-round epic in Brisbane ended as a draw.
The result was subsequently converted to a No Contest after Silva tested positive for raised levels of testosterone but the fight is still widely regarded as one of the best in the promotion’s history.
With two big fights in the works, the UFC have selected a suitably huge venue to host the event, the Etihad stadium. The Arena has a capacity of 56,347 which means the event could potentially overtake UFC 129 as the biggest attendance in UFC history.
55,724 fight fans packed into the Rogers Center in Toronto to watch GSP defend his Welterweight championship against Jake Shields on that occasion.
THE WAIT IS OVER!#UFC IS HERE!
