Fittingly on a Veterans Day, the UFC made it official Thursday the Fight for the Troops 2 event will be held Jan. 22 in Fort Hood, Texas,

The UFC again will partner with the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund to raise funds for soldiers with traumatic brain injuries.

“It’s always a great honor for us to entertain the men and women of the military by bringing them some great fights while raising money for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund,” said UFC president Dana White. “It’s the least we can do for the people who are defending this country and making so many sacrifices for our freedom, and this is a cause the UFC will always support.”
