The Ultimate Fighting Championship is back in action less than a week after it’s last event with today’s UFC on FX: Browne vs. Bigfoot event.
The action goes down at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota with action taking place on FX television for the four bout main card, and on FUEL TV for the remaining preliminary matches. The action starts at 5pm EST (2pm PST) on Fuel TV and then on to FX at 8pm EST (5pm PST) for the main card.
The card is headlined by a heavyweight match between undefeated Travis Browne and former Strikeforce Grand Prix semi-finalist Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva.
The match has already seen some controversy after a lightweight bout between Dennis Hallman and Thiago Tavares was scrapped after Hallman failed to make weight.
A fight between Jeremy Stephens and Yves Edwards appeared to be in jeopardy after Stephens was arrested by Minneapolis Police earlier today. UFC president Dana White has confirmed via Twitter (@DanaWhite) that ‘Lil Heathen’ would be competing tonight.
