UFC UK President, Marshall Zelaznik officially announced three of the fights set to take place at UFC 120 on October 16 in London, England, with the main event being a Middleweight battle between Michael Bisping and Yoshihiro Akiyama.
Speaking via a press release, Zelaznik said:
“We have three of the very best British fighters to ever put on a pair of gloves, all in hugely significant matches, all on the same card. At only 22, Hathaway has established himself as someone to really look out for in the welterweight division after dominating Diego Sanchez, but Mike Pyle couldn’t care less about the hype.”
“Dan Hardy was a national hero in the UK already, but I think he won an army of American fans by his display of courage against Georges St-Pierre, but now faces a fighter with the same ‘never-say-die’ attitude in Carlos Condit. And Bisping fights are always magical occasions in England, but in Akiyama, he may be in for his toughest test yet.”
Tickets for UFC 120 are priced at £50, £75, £100, £125, £175 and £250 and will go on sale via ticketmaster.co.uk and the O2 Arena box office to UFC Fight Club members at AM on Thursday July 22
