The UFC's third event on Versus is now officially set, as the organization has announced the March 3 event for the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville. The event will mark the UFC's debut in Kentucky.
The card is headlined by a welterweight bout between Diego Sanchez and Martin Kampmann, and the night's main card will air live on the network.
"Diego Sanchez and Martin Kampmann are two fighters who always go for broke, so this should be a great fight," UFC President Dana White stated. "Both of these guys feel they belong at the top of the welterweight division, and they'll have a chance to prove it on March 3. The same goes for Munoz and Dolloway. They push the pace and look to finish fights and both want to fight the best middleweights out there. We're really excited to bring a card like this to Louisville."
Tickets for the event go on sale next week. The card as it stands is below:
* Martin Kampmann vs. Diego Sanchez
* C.B. Dollaway vs. Mark Munoz
* Alexandre Ferreira vs. Rousimar Palhares
* Maiquel Falcao vs. Alessio Sakara
