Saturday marks the UFC’s tenth trip to the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, which has sneakily been home to some memorable moments over the years.
Georges St-Pierre defeated Dan Hardy at “The Rock” in 2010. Jon Jones made history, becoming the youngest UFC champion ever when he stormed through “Shogun” Rua a year later at UFC 128, and then successfully defended his light heavyweight strap against Chael Sonnen there two years later.
Renan Barão and Jose Aldo delivered a Nova Uniao title defense double-up at UFC 169, Luke Rockhold punched his ticket to his UFC 194 title fight with Chris Weidman there, and, most recently, Diego Lopes introduced himself to the world with his breakout performance against Movsar Evloev at UFC 288.
