...OH, ONE MORE THING - PLEASE BOOKMARK US & VISIT DAILY!
It has been previously reported that the UFC was targeting January 28 for their second event on Fox, and now Steve Cofield at Yahoo! Sports reports that the card is likely to emanate from Chicago, Ill.
Per Cofield, the UFC is targeting the United Center in the city for that event, which announcer Mike Goldberg said this week would provide a two and a half hour broadcast on Fox. If the venue and location are confirmed, it will mark the UFC's first trip to the state of Illinois since UFC 90 in 2008.
The UFC made their Fox debut last Saturday with a Heavyweight Championship bout between Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos. The fight itself brought in 8.8 million viewers, making it the most watched fight in MMA history in the U.S.
