The main event for UFC On FOX Sports 1 was finally announced on UFC Tonight after months of speculation. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua vs Chael Sonnen will headline the stacked Boston card on August 17th. Sonnen made sure to throw some verbal jabs at rival Wanderlei Silva along with the main event announcement.


UFC on Fox Sports 1: Shogun vs. Sonnen is expected to take place on Aug. 17 at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. The promotion was looking to book the two for June 15 in Winnipeg after Rua’s original opponent, Antônio Rogério Nogueira, withdrew due to a back injury. The UFC was unable to book the bout so the two light heavyweights will now meet in Boston on the soon to be launched Fox Sports 1 television channel.
