BAD MMA News — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:15:00 +0000

The 13-bout lineup is set for the debut UFC on FOX Sports 1 event, and the new cable channel will televise 10 of the 13 fights. UFC on FOX Sports 1 1 takes place Aug. 17 at TD Garden in Boston. The main card, including a light-heavyweight headliner between Mauricio Rua (21-7 MMA, 5-5 UFC) and Chael Sonnen (27-13-1 MMA, 6-6 UFC), airs on FOX Sports 1, a new channel that replaces the UFC’s existing homes on FX and FUEL TV. In addition to the six-bout main card, the channel also airs four prelims. In the featured bout, bantamweight contenders Michael McDonald (15-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC) and Brad Pickett (23-7 MMA, 3-2 UFC) clash and set the tone for the night’s main card. Meanwhile, the night’s first three bouts stream online via Facebook and YouTube. Of note is a featherweight bout between veterans Cole Miller (19-7 MMA, 8-5 UFC) and Manny Gamburyan (12-7 MMA, 3-5 UFC), which closes out the stream

Visa issues reportedly scrap Sonnen-Rua at UFC 161, Jimmo-Pokrajac head to main

Chael Sonnen tried to get himself into a fight, but it looks like his effort will go wasted. Despite reports on Monday that Sonnen (27-13-1 MMA, 6-6 UFC) would fill in for an injured Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (21-5 MMA, 4-2 UFC) in the co-main event of UFC 161 later this month against Mauricio Rua (21-7 MMA, 5-5 UFC), that fight won’t happen. Instead, UFC 161 will move forward with 11 fights, and “Shogun” will wait to fight another day – perhaps still against Sonnen. The UFC made the announcement late Monday night that Rua had been removed from the card.
