UFC headed north

Its not often that the Ultimate Fighting Championship makes its way to the Northeast. On May 8 it will do that for UFC 113, which will be held in Montreal, Canada, at the Bell Centre.
The main event features Lyoto Machida against Mauricio Rua. At UFC 104 last October, light heavyweight champion Machida and challenger Rua engaged in a five-round war that divided the mixed martial arts world when the unanimous decision verdict was rendered in Machida’s favor.
On Saturday, May 8, these two warriors will have a chance to do it again and erase any doubt as to who is the best 205-pound fighter in the world, and both are vowing to take matters out of the judges’ hands and into their own when The Ultimate Fighting Championship heads back to Montreal for UFC 113.
“The first fight between Machida and Shogun was very controversial, I think fans are very excited to see them fight again and find out who the best light heavyweight in the world is,” said UFC President Dana White.
Tickets for UFC 113 will go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. and will be priced at $550, $400, $225, $150, $100 and $50. Tickets are available at the Bell Centre box office, by phone at (514) 790-2525 / 1-877-668-8269 or at www.geg.ca.
