UFC on Versus 2 tickets, for the UFC Utah fight night, are now gonna be UFC Versus 2 SAN DIEGO tickets, after the event was switched due to a low response in the Beehive State. The low ticket sales are probably due to the fact that UFC Utah was scheduled for a Sunday, which is a religious day in the Mormon state. Sad news for Utah Ultimate Fight fans, but UFC President Dana White has promised that he will definitely be returning to the region in the future.
UFC Versus 2 tickets are beginning to sell really fast and it is looking like Ultimate Fighting is once again proving a huge draw for fighting fans. Among the top of the card showdowns is the welterweight clash between John Howard and Jake Ellenberger, both of whom are looking sharp and ready to go. Both men have been living high on the MMA hog lately, having beaten most everyone they've fought, with the one exception of Ellenberger's defeat at the hands of Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion Delson Heleno. The Ellenberger Howard fight is all set to go down in UFC folklore, and where better for it to happen than San Diego? Another biggie at UFC on Versus 2 will be when Japan's Takanori Gomi fights Joe "Daddy" Stevenson, currently fighting out of Las Vegas, Nevada. Former Shooto Welterweight champ Gomi will be looking to try and improve on his recent record, as he has been feeling the blunt end of the UFC cosh from some hardy opponents and has lost 3 out of his last 5. Will the man they call "The Fireball Kid" be able to defeat "Daddy" in S.D? Buy UFC on Versus 2 tickets and find out!
If that isn't enough to whet your Ultimate Fighting appetite, then how about this juicy undercard set-to between Brian Stann will fight Mike Massenzio? Stann is going up to middleweight class to fight Massenzio, and it is going to be very interesting to see if former combat soldier Stann can carry the extra pounds and be effective against the threat of Massenzio. Stann fought as a soldier in Iraq, and attributes much of his later successes in MMA to the experience he gained in training at the Marine Corps Martial Arts Center for Excellence in Quantico, Virginia. he was once involved in a sustained attack by insurgents in Iraq, and as Captain was able to guide his platoon through a 6-day assault without losing a single marine. Question is, will that kind of grit translate to the fight cage, when Stann goes to it against Massenzio? Only those lucky ones who actually get to buy UFC on Versus 2 tickets will find out live in the flesh. Buy your UFC San Diego tickets sooner rather than later and secure your seat at the San Diego Sports Arena in San Diego on August 1, 2010.
