The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will return to Cincinnati’s US Bank Arena May 10th 2014. The UFC was last here in October of 2007 when Cincinnati native Rich Franklin took on UFC superstar Anderson Silva. The fight card has yet to be announced but the fight will be shown on FoxSports1.

The official press release from the UFC:

"On Saturday, May 10, the UFC will be back in Cincinnati for the first time since 2007, as a FOX Sports 1 televised card will take place at U.S. Bank Arena in “The Queen City.”The fight card for this event will be announced soon. In the UFC’s previous visit to Cincy for UFC 77 on October 20, 2007, Anderson Silva defended his UFC middleweight title against hometown favorite Rich Franklin in a rematch witnessed by over 16,000 fans.Tickets for this event go on sale on Friday, March 21. Stay tuned to UFC.com for more details."

The last time a fight in Cincinnati was held it sold out quickly, if you plan on going this time around get your tickets early. The fight card likely will not feature a big matchup due to the fact it is not a pay-per-view event. When the fight card gets announced you can see it here at RFB or on the UFC website.
