UFC on Fox Sports 1: Shogun vs. Sonnen is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held on August 17, 2013 at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.[1]

Background

The event will be the first UFC event broadcast on Fox Sports 1.[2][3]

The main event is expected to be contested between former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Maurício Rua and Chael Sonnen.[4] The bout was first linked to UFC 161, as Sonnen was briefly mentioned as a short notice replacement for Rua's original opponent Antônio Rogério Nogueira, who had bowed out of the bout with a back injury. An alleged visa issue created travel issues for Sonnen to get into Canada, resulting in Rua being pulled from the event altogether.[5]
