Dana White's promise to offer the best card in history outside the pay-per0-views in the UFC's debut on the new FOX Sports 1 channel in the United States, it seems to be coming to fruition. According to information from the director himself on the website MMA Junkie, the lightweight title fight between Ben henderson and TJ Grant should take place at the event on August 17th.
TJ Grant secured the chance to compete for the 70 kg division belt after winning Gray Maynard at UFC 160, last Saturday (25). The 29-year-old Canadian has been undefeated since December 2010 – when he was defeated by Ricardo Almeida in the 124th edition of Ultimate. Grant has a 21-5 record.
So far, three other fights have already been announced for UFC on FOX Sports 1 – an event scheduled for August 17th, at TD Garden, in Boston (USA): the fight between heavyweights Travis Browne and alistair overeem; the return of Brazilian Thiago Alves to the octagon, against Matt Brown; and the confrontation between Michael Johnson e Joe lauzon.
