2 great cards in 2 weeks

The UFC has stacked two fight cards that will happen over the span of two weeks in March/April. These two events could have up to 4 title fights (interim Heavyweight) and should be solid from top to bottom. (*=not official)

UFC 111 will take place March 27th and will mark the return to New Jersey for the first time in over two years. Coming back to New Jersey is not the real reason to put on the mega event that reason lay northeast in New York. The UFC is desperately trying to get MMA legalized in New York and the counsel is suppose to vote later this year regarding MMA. The theory is that if they put on this mega show, it sells out and New Jersey loves it the NY counsel will see the dollar signs and legalize it. With the card announced so far it will easily selling out and make a ton of money so I see this tactic working
