Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) announced its next mixed martial arts (MMA) event for the FOX network, UFC on FOX 13, which is now confirmed for the U.S. Airways Center in Phoenix, Arizona, for Dec. 13, 2014.
UFC President Dana White delivered the news during the UFC on FOX 12 post-fight press conference (watch it here).
The U.S. Airways Center is home to the Phoenix Suns NBA team and can hold just short of 20,000 fans. While it would take a monster card to get that kind of turnout, the world's leading combat sports promotion has stepped up its game in recent months when it comes to matchmaking.
"Lawler vs. Brown" is a perfect example (results).
In addition, Arizona houses some of the world's leading cage fighters, like Ben Henderson and Ryan Bader, as well as a handful of top MMA camps like Power MMA, Arizona Combat Sports, and MMA Lab. Filling the fight card should be a snap.
See you in "The Grand Canyon State."
