UFC 112: This Saturday

UFC 112 is this Saturday afternoon at 1pm on Pay Per View. It features both Anderson Silva and BJ Penn defending their belts, plus a Gracie! Here is UFC pitch:

Two titles. One night. On April 10th, Fans of The Ultimate Fighting Championship will witness one of the organization’s greatest events ever, as middleweight titleholder Anderson "The Spider" Silva faces the extraordinary BJJ of Demian Maia. Lightweight champion BJ Penn looks to continue his dominant reign when he takes on Frankie Edgar in the double main event of UFC 112. Also, two legends meet for the first time when future UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes battles ground fighting master Renzo Gracie.

UFC 112 takes place in Abu Dhabi, UAE. This will be the first time the UFC has held an event in the Middle East. This will also be the first time the UFC has held an event in an outdoor arena.



And what if it rains you might ask?
Per Dana White

"If it starts raining and the wind starts blowing ... right now there's no Plan B. The high possibility of rain happening…it's not gonna happen," White said. "It's not gonna rain there; we know it's not gonna happen. It would have to be crazy for it to rain in Abu Dhabi. Wind could be a factor. It's very dusty and sandy there. I'm worried about the wind."
