This Saturday, August 16, UFC Fight Night 47 will signify the beginning of a whirlwind seven-week period for the UFC, with a grand total of 11 events planned for that stretch. So take a deep breath, focus and brace yourself for a marathon.

Saturday’s 10-fight event begins at 8 p.m. ET, with a quartet of prelims on Fox Sports 2. From there, the action will move to Fox Sports 1 for the six-fight main card.

Highlighting the show is a light heavyweight tilt between The Ultimate Fighter winner Ryan Bader and rising star Ovince Saint Preux. The co-main event of the evening will feature lightweight standouts Gray Maynard and Ross Pearson.
