UFC packs September with another PPV
Just two weeks after UFC 75: Champion vs. Champion on Sept. 8 in London, UFC will deliver another pay-per-view at the Honda Center in Anaheim on Sept. 22.
No main event has been signed yet, but that event may mark the debut of Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in the UFC.
Like Dan Henderson, Rua is a star from the PRIDE promotion, which UFC purchased in the spring. Rua (16-2) has won 12 of his last 13 fights, with his only loss coming to Mark Coleman when Rua suffered a broken arm.
Rua even holds a victory over current UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.
Also expected to fight on the Anaheim are Mike Swick and Evan Tanner. Swick won five fights in a row before losing to Yushin Okami in April. Middleweight slugger Evan Tanner (32-6) will be fighting for the first time since beating Justin Levens in April 2006.
