UFC 146 headed to Atlanta, Ga., on April 21, 2012

Rashad Evans iced Chuck Liddell with a brutal second round knockout at UFC 88 in Sept. 2008, which was the last time -- and the first -- that the MMA promotion held an event in Atlanta, Georgia. Photo via ESPN.com.

It's hard to believe, but it's been more than three years since Rashad Evans turned out Chuck Liddell's lights in utterly spectacular fashion in the UFC 88: "Breakthrough" main event at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

What is also hard to believe is that the mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion has not staged an event in "Hotlanta" since that sensational Saturday night in Sept. 2008. However, that is about to change in 2012 because it was announced this evening on FUEL TV's "UFC Tonight" that the organization is headed back to Atlanta on April 21, 2012.

No fights were announced for UFC 146, much less a headlining attraction, on the broadcast. However, expect that to change real soon with so many fighters -- and contenders -- competing this month, including none other than "Suga."

Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for the latest UFC 146 news and notes, which we will share the moment they become available.

Mr. Murphy.

Nice sig.
why you gotta copy Hella’s shit bruh?
I dont know if this is you. but you both have the same sig.
I’m gunna say this one time Real Clear.

NNR Has his name as his FORMER NAME. He is the only one to do so.
Other people have Real names or parts of there names. Scottidog, VM, MM.
Other people you can’t deny them like Phase and a couple other guys, knowing they are single account users. Now i understand the whole mess with another with another account shit cause your bored at work not working hard enough spending too much time on Mania modding shit or simply commenting bullshit(Deuce i’m looking at you Drew you too) Why in gods name blue hell can you not come up with a motherfucking more clever joke to do on someone and take credit for it amongst the entirety of the community instead of creating a new account, on a new computer with a new email address?
I sat here and read that the other day and I feel like everyone should go by one username. And if you don’t and you like to “fuck with people due to boredom” puff a fuckin joint, hit up some completely random fucking site anywhere on the internet and come back in half an hourr. Your reply’s will be filled. comments will have happened. But For fucks sakes. one person running two accounts is gay as fuck.

it's all your fault

ruined a good T and A thread with your fat bitches

What the hell am I thinking when I picked the cowboy from New Mexico to beat the other guy from 209. I should have joined the Dark Side and learned more about MMA than spend most of my time watching episodes of New Girl, Nikita and Jersey Shore. Next time, I will be more careful when betting with Phasebook

might as well

just let Bones keep the 205lb title for the next 10 years… he’’s so good, he doesn’t need to defend

you should totally twitter that on your facebook

by ~Peregrine on Jan 10, 2012 11:36 PM EST up reply actions  

I agree and also Bones has finished

Fighters Rashad couldn’t get close to finishing so honestly I see JBJ winning whenever him and Evans go at it but it has to happen regardless because they still have that beef!

He must have picked that mentality up from his buddy A Silva.
