The Ultimate Fighting
Championship (UFC) organization is proud to announce that three great fights have
been included on the historic final card of the year. UFC 92: The Ultimate 2008
will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in
“We are ending 2008 with a
fight card like no other. One for every fight fan out there.†said UFC
President Dana White.
Two titles will be on the
line on December 27th when former UFC Heavyweight champion Frank Mir
meets UFC Heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro†Nogueira in a fight
between the two The Ultimate Fighter team coaches. Two former champs will also
stage a great match as the Brazilian Mixed Martial Arts legend and former PRIDE
champion Wanderlei “The Axe Murderer†Silva takes on former UFC Light
Heavyweight Champion Quinton “Rampageâ€Â
But probably the most expected combat on the fight card will feature the UFC light heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin vs. The Ultimate Fighter Season 2 heavyweight winner Rashad Evans, who recently defeated the former UFC champion Chuck Liddell with a solid knock out.
“I’m happy that the winner
of The Ultimate Fighter Season 1 gets to fight the winner of Season 2. I think
that’s great for a couple of reality show guys. Rashad has a great wrestling
background, he has a lot of power and explosiveness, and he doesn’t just knock
guys out, he knocks them out for quite a while. But I know a lot of people will
be watching this fight. This is a great fight card, I’m honored to be on it,
and I’m definitely not going to let anything slide.â€Â
