UFC headed to Newcastle, United Kingdom for UFC 80 in January

Send News and Event Results


That's the word according to a fight network report on the British MMA scene.

It is believed a date of either 1/19 or 1/26 is the target.

The article mentions to rumored bouts:

1. Welterweights: Marcus Davis Vs. Jess Liaudin
   
2. Lightweights: Terry Etim Vs. Per Eklund

More on this to come, and while there is no word on whether it will be a SpikeTV special or PPV event, I'd think if it were the 26th they wouldn't be foolish enough to try for PPV on back-to-back weeks.
