Tickets on sale today for back-to-back UFC Fight Night 80, TUF 22 Finale in Vegas

Frankie Edgar and Chad Mendes

Tickets go on sale today for the two lead-in cards to December’s UFC 194 in Las Vegas, giving the UFC an unprecedented three straight days of live events in the same city.

UFC 194 takes place Dec. 12 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, but ahead of that, UFC Fight Night 80 and the TUF 22 Finale take place in “Sin City” at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan.

UFC Fight Night 80 takes place Thursday, Dec. 10, and the entire event streams on UFC Fight Pass. The TUF 22 Finale takes place the next day, Dec. 11, with a main card on FOX Sports 1 following prelims expected for that same channel and UFC Fight Pass.

In the UFC Fight Night 80 main event, rising women’s strawweight star Paige VanZant (6-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) headlines her first UFC show when she meets Joanne Calderwood (10-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC). At the TUF 22 Finale, former lightweight champion and onetime featherweight title challenger Frankie Edgar (19-4-1 MMA, 13-4-1 UFC) meets three-time title challenger Chad Mendes (17-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC). The bout is almost certain to be a title eliminator, with the winner moving on to a shot at the UFC 194 main event winner between featherweight champ Jose Aldo and interim titleholder Conor McGregor.
