UFC 117 Headed for SLC?Filed Under: Local
And it came to pass that Salt Lake was prophesied to be the place for UFC 117 : Sonnen vs Silva. And the the time thereof would be August 7th, and the location thereof would be the EnergySolutions Arena.
There was much rejoicing throughout the land.

Bart, as an update: http://www.sltrib.com/ci_14916264
August 1st will be the event. It will be a Spike Fight Night rather than a PPV.

Nice. And it came to pass that August 1 would be the new meeting time. Still, much rejoicing.

Indeed, it is exciting! I’m new to the UFC world and have been following it for just the past couple of months. It’s addicting!

UFN means that we won’t get any true superstars in Utah. However, I bet they sign a bunch of local talent for one fight contracts. Which is always good for exposure.
Bart are you competing in the Utah Grappling Games, if so gi or no-gi, what weight class & skill level.
April 22nd, 2010 at 2:01 pm
Yeah I’m 50/50 about the summer grappling games. I’d like to if things work out.
I talked to Micheal Pease about the tournament and I’ll go even if I’m not competing. As of yet, I don’t know what the divisions are so I can’t say.
Are you going to come and compete?
April 22nd, 2010 at 3:22 pm
I have Submission One two weeks before and IBJJF Jiujitsu Open two weeks after, so I’m up on the air about competing.
However if I do, we should be in the same weight/skill class so I was curious as to if we would compete against each other. Hopeful even.

Given exposure to local guy. its good. Waiting to see how they do it.

Glad to see that Utah is still the home of talent (I’ve been away too late!) Superstars in spirit! Look forward to the rejoicing.

Hands down silvia is the best fighter in the ufc right know. I can’t wait to see him tear it up in slc.

pridetv, is the invitation to your gym still open? I’ll be in town sometime next week.
May 3rd, 2010 at 4:29 pm
vitamin_k i’m not prideTV but the invitation to our gym is most certainly open come on down anytime…well except for this Friday and Saturday, Professor Pedro Sauer will be hosting a seminar which is not open door.

Thanks dude, I’ve got some pretty ugly carpet burn on my foot that I’m hoping to heal up today. (I have had a MRSA scare in the past so rolling with an open wound isn’t something I can do anymore).
If it does, I’ll try to make it in.

hmmm looks like if one wants to hunt trolls he’s going to have to flip bridges…

Looks like it may be Jon “Bones” Jones to headline the SLC UFC which would be awesome. He is one of the most exciting new up and coming fighters out there.
Vit K: just a question… do you know where we get most of our vit K from in the body? Sounds like you named yourself well.
