UFC on Fox Sports 1: Shogun vs. Sonnen is slated for the TD Gardens and is set to serve as featured programming for the launch of Fox’s new nationwide sports channel, Fox Sports 1. A Boston Herald report on Tuesday brought to light an issue that UFC officials faced in regards to all mixed martial arts competitors in Massachusetts being required to have a valid Social Security number, even foreign-born participants. The report noted that the UFC was seeking an exemption from the law, and suggested that the event could be cancelled altogether if things weren’t worked out. The report jumped the gun a good bit, as UFC sources assured MMAWeekly.com on Tuesday that the event “is not in danger, and we’re working on getting visas and social security numbers.

But unlike his promotional debut, which resulted in a decision loss to Buddy Roberts , Magalhaes (5-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) expects few problems with fellow middleweight Karlos Vemola (9-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC) in his sophomore effort. “I don’t think Karlos is a complete fighter,” Magalhaes told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “And he lacks the stamina to fight three rounds. My training partner Ronny Markes , when he debuted in the UFC, negated Karlos’ game for three rounds.” Magalhaes, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, expects to do the same when they meet in a Facebook-streamed preliminary-card bout at Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. The Nova Uniao fighter said he’s picked up enough from Markes and his other teammates that he should have little trouble with Vemola, a former heavyweight and light heavyweight who’s 1-1 since his drop to 185 pounds. “I only train with top talents, big guys like Glover Teixeira , Antonio Silva and Thales Leites ,” Magalhaes said.
