For the first time in the history of the company, the UFC will be traveling to Indianapolis, Indiana for its next live event. On Saturday, September 25, fans from all over will fill the seats of the Canseco Fieldhouse for UFC 119 headlined by Frank Mir and Mirko “CroCop” Flipovic
Ryan Bader (11-0 MMA) meets the seasoned veteran Antônio Rogério Nogueira (19-3 MMA) this weekend at UFC 119 in Indianapolis as the co-main event. Ryan is a tough wrestling based fighter who was a three-time Pac-10 champion and two-time D-1 all American
The recent release of UFC fighters Todd Duffee, Efrain Escudero and just today Jon Gunderson begs the question, who’s next? UFC 119 is Saturday and several fighters on the card should be looking at their fight as a must win. Come this Sunday or Monday there could potentially be a handful of fighters from the card looking for work elsewhere.
The UFC travels to Indiana for the very first time September 25th live at Canseco Field house. The preliminary fights will feature two previous The Ultimate Fighter cast members, UFC debuting fighters, a K-1 and Pride legend, and a hard hitting Heavyweight prospect with very good hands. Two of the fights will be shown free on Spike TV before the main card, and if the main card is moving too fast a filler fight will be shown from the prelims to transition the time gap.
On paper, this is a fight that Mir should win as he is the bigger, stronger fighter with some of the best submissions the heavyweight division has to offer
