The Ultimate Fighting Championship touched down for the first time ever in Boise, Idaho, on Friday for early weigh-ins for Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 133.
Headlined by a heavyweight clash between former divisional champion Junior dos Santos and former World Series of Fighting heavyweight kingpin Blagoy Ivanov, the UFC quietly put together a strong offering in a new and unexplored market.
Also on the bill, Chad Mendes (146) returns after a lengthy suspension to challenge Myles Jury (146), Sage Northcutt (170) gets a coveted co-main event slot against Zak Ottow (171) and former title challenger Cat Zingano (136) is the opening fight on the main card against Marion Reneau (136).
