Tickets for the UFC’s third-ever Canadian card will go on sale Feb. 20,
and the promotion hopes to answer a lingering debate in the main event.
The world’s largest MMA promotion on Thursday evening officially
announced that “UFC 113: Machida vs. Shogun II” is scheduled for May 8 at the Bell Centre in
Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and features a light heavyweight title
rematch between Lyoto Machida (16-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) and Mauricio “Shogun”
Rua (18-4 MMA, 2-2 UFC).
The two first met in Los Angeles this past October at UFC 104 and ignited a firestorm of controversy over judging in MMA.
