UFC 146 Public Press Conference on Tuesday; Tickets On Sale Friday

UFC officials have assembled a rather sizable fight card for UFC 146: dos Santos vs. Overeem. Not only will UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos defend his belt against Alistair Overeem, but four other heavyweight bouts will also don the UFC 146 main card on pay-per-view. Former UFC champions Cain Velasquez and Frank Mir will square off, as will Roy Nelson and Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva, Shane Del Rosario and Gabriel Gonzaga, and Mark Hunt and Stefan Struve.

“Our Memorial Day weekend events in Las Vegas are always big, but Junior dos Santos vs. Alistair Overeem is one of the most exciting heavyweight fights ever!” UFC president Dana White said. “The all-heavyweight main card features five guys ranked in the top 10. This is the most heavyweights on a UFC card in history. You don’t want to miss this!”

The promotion is kicking off the event and ticket sales with a UFC 146 press conference on Tuesday, which you can watch live at 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT right here on MMAWeekly.com.
