UFC President Dana White promised to put on a free card for the ages for the company's first event on UFC on FOX Sports 1, and the company is making good on that commitment.
UFC officials today announced several additions to the UFC on FOX Sports 1 1 card, and the latest round of new bouts includes a headlier of light heavyweights Mauricio "Shogun" Rua (21-7 MMA, 5-5 UFC) vs.
Chael Sonnen
(27-13-1 MMA, 6-6 UFC), as well as bantamweights
Michael McDonald
(15-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC) vs.
Brad Pickett
(23-7 MMA, 3-2 UFC) and light heavyweights
Cody Donovan
(8-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) vs.
Ovince St. Preux
(13-5 MMA, 1-0 UFC).
Coinciding with the launch of the new all-sports channel that will serve as the UFC's new cable home, "UFC on FOX Sports 1 1: Shogun vs. Sonnen" takes place Aug. 17 at Boston's TD Garden.
Rua was originally expected to face
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
at next week's UFC 161 event before injury forced "Little Nog" out of the event and left "Shogun" without an opponent. Sonnen then entered the picture and was expected to serve as an injury replacement but was unable to secure the necessary paperwork to fight in Canada, and the fight was delayed until the Boston card.
The 22-year-old McDonald remains one of the brightest prospects in the bantamweight division. He fights for the first time since a fourth-round submission loss to Barao in a failed bid for the UFC interim bantamweight belt. The result snapped an eight-fight win streak for the Californian. He now meets the always-exciting McDonald, who is 3-1 in his past four fights and is a four-time "Fight of the Night" winner during his time fighting for both the UFC and WEC.
"Donnybrook" Donovan fights for the second time under the UFC banner. He made his debut in spectacular "Fight of the Night" fashion this past December, where he earned a first-round TKO win over
Nick Penner
. He now meets St. Preux, who looks to move past a controversial technical-decision win over
Gian Villante
at April's UFC 159 event, where an eyepoke halted the fight early.

Pickett/McDonald is going to be crazy, FOTN candidate. OSP i could care less about so i hope Donovan knocks him out

so Pickett/McDonald is a prelim and Hall/Ring is on the main card. its all on fs1 so its not that big of a deal but the ufc really under promotes the lighter weight classes sometimes

WTF!! Really??? That's BS, you have a much hyped TUF loser higher than someone that's just fought for the title and a high ranked fighter that's coming off a top 10 win lol..
You just can't get any more pathetic if this is true, Michael and Brad have to get bumped up to main card.

I'm hoping the lineup isn't finalized yet. a guy who's 0-1 in the ufc vs a guy who's arguably 1-4 in the ufc on the main card over 2 top 5 guys, one of which just fought for the title? and people wonder why the ufc has trouble building stars

I don't usually b!tch about placement, but the lower WCs are the Rodney Dangerfield of MMA, sometimes they just don't get no respect. When it comes to action pact fights, the smaller guys more than hold their own. Pickett/McDonald will be non-stop till the end, whether its a stoppage or goes the distance,WE will be entertained regardless.

So After McDonald Knocks Brad Out,
jus' kid'n.
No I'm not.
I Like the sh!t outta this Dude and his abilities at such a young age.
But If He KO's Brad Good then Why not Wineland next?

I think Mcdonald is going to put Picket to sleep.

Yeahhh Cody!
Super stoked for the guy. Used to be my coach during my short stint at Altitude MMA in Denver.
