For the first time in more than 14 years and 150 events, the Ultimate Fighting Championship is heading to Michigan.
UFC 123, which takes place Nov. 20, will be hosted by the 23,000-seat Palace of Auburn Hills in a suburb of Detroit.
The “Detroit Free Press” first reported the plans, and MMAjunkie.com since has confirmed them with sources close to the show. A light-heavyweight fight between former champs Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Lyoto Machida headlines the show.
