Frankie Edgar, who was the king of the lightweight division from 2010 to 2012, is now seeking gold at featherweight, where he has won three straight over Charles Oliveira, BJ Penn and Cub Swanson after a razor-thin decision loss to current champion Jose Aldo in February of 2013.
On the other hand, Faber, also known as the 'California Kid', ruled the featherweights in the WEC from 2006 to 2008. He went on to become an elite bantamweight since coming to the UFC in 2011. Winner of six of his last seven, Faber has never lost a non-title fight, an impressive record that could be tainted as he faces Edgar in the Philippines.
Five more match-ups have also been announced for the main card.
In the lightweight division, Tae Hyun Bang will be up against Jon Tuck while Zhang Lipeng takes on Kajan Johnson. At 125 pounds, Yao Zhikui squares off against Nolan Ticman and the Philippines' own Roldan Sangcha-an meets Jon Delos Reyes. In the welterweight division, Li Jingliang battles Roger Zapata.
Tickets will go on sale in March, launched in conjunction with SM Tickets at www.smtickets.com.
Stay tuned for more info and updates! :)
I can't watch any kind of fighting! It stresses me out too much!
ReplyDeleteMy nephews really get into the fight scene. We have a local amateur scene in our city and they are really involved. That is what turned me on to the skill involved in these games. The punishment to the body is amazing and the training takes commitment - and here I complain about 100 squats!
ReplyDeleteI was completely surprised at home much I really like to watch boxing and UFC type events! I'm pretty competitive and really enjoy the competitions! Thanks for sharing the dates for FOX Sports airing!
ReplyDeleteMy boxing trainer is all into the UFC, he tells me all the time about these upcoming fights. He said this should be a very good fight.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised my boys aren't more into this. They love watching WWE and my oldest son wrestles. I though eventually they'd get into MMA fights
