The Ultimate Fighting Championship heads to San Diego for the first time since 2010 with an excellent offering on Fox Sports 1. In the headliner, grizzled veteran Frank Mir attempts to make one last run toward the top of the wide-open heavyweight division, drawing young gun Todd Duffee, who is as close as the division has to a young up-and-comer.
Underneath the main event, proceedings really pick up with a fantastic lightweight matchup, as Josh Thomson will face “The Ultimate Fighter” winner Tony Ferguson, who is on the cusp of making a real splash; Holly Holm returns to action against Marion Reneau in a potential barnburner of a women’s bantamweight fight; and a trio of interesting matchups complete the main card.
