Live, from a Brazilian city you’ve never heard of, comes UFC Fight Night 56: Shogun vs. St. Preux! Featuring: Mauricio Rua fighting a late replacement, Ian McCall not fighting that guy who rarely makes weight on the first try, the return of Mr. Handsome, and the non-wiki all stars.
Note: Due to the McCall-Lineker cancellation, our man Alex Giardini will be providing a play-by-play for only the main event, and filling in results and GIF-links for everything else, saving you from the hassle of watching a likely garbage-ass South American card that’s sure to go past your bedtime. We’re taking the bullet for this one, because we love you so much.
The FOX Sports 1 main card kicks off at 10:30 p.m. ET / 7:30 p.m. PT, so follow us after the jump, refresh the page every few minutes for all the latest results, and toss in your own thoughts in the comments section or on twitter @cagepotatomma. Thanks for coming.
