UFC on FX 4 Headed to the Revel in Atlantic City

According to a report by the Press of Atlantic City, the recently announced UFC on FX 4 fight card will grace the Revel entertainment resort and casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The UFC will be heading back to Atlantic City for the first time since bringing UFC 53 to the Boardwalk Hall back in 2005. The apparently luxurious Revel Atlantic City is a brand new addition to the Jersey shore and will host UFC on FX 4 in a 5,500 seat arena. The resort and casino isn’t scheduled to open its doors for the first time until April 2, with a full opening scheduled for May 25, just a month out from the fights. Headlining the fight card will be a lightweight tilt between two-time title challenger Gray Maynard (10-1-1, 1 NC) and division staple Clay Guida (29-12). Coming off of his two-fight title series with recently dethroned champ Frankie Edgar, a refreshed Maynard will be looking to reestablish his presence in the division against Guida. Perennially positioned near the top of the weight class, Guida’s aim is to rebound from a November loss to current champ Benson Henderson. A welterweight matchup between Mike Pierce (13-5) and Carlos Eduardo Rocha (9-1) has also been linked to the event. UFC on FX 4 is scheduled to take place on June 22.

Report: UFC on FX 4 booked for Atlantic City's new Revel casino on June 22

After a seven-year drought, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is finally returning to Atlantic City, NJ with UFC on FX 4, featuring Gray Maynard vs. Clay Guida in the network-televised headliner booked for the new Revel Hotel and Casino on June 22, 2012. From Press of Atlantic City: The country's most popular mixed martial arts organization announced Monday that it will end its seven-year hiatus from Atlantic City on Friday, June 22 when it stages a card at Revel's 5,500-seat entertainment arena. "I've never been to Atlantic City," Maynard said in a phone interview from Las Vegas. "I'm looking forward to it." The $2.4 billion casino resort is scheduled to open April 2. Maynard, a former two-time number one division contender, spent the entire 2011 mixed martial arts (MMA) fight season attempting to wrest the belt from the resilient clutches of UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar. Despite his best efforts, including two brutal first rounds at UFC 125 and UFC 136, during which he beat "The Answer" from pillar to post, Edgar stormed back to earn a draw and then a come-from-behind technical knockout. "The Bully," who now trains at American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) in San Jose, Calif., will now have to fight his way back toward the top, starting with "The Carpenter." Guida himself was in the 2011 lightweight number one contender "mix," submitting Takanori Gomi and decisioning the last man to hold the World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) lightweight belt, Anthony Pettis. In fact, he was riding a four-fight win streak inside the Octagon before Ben Henderson derailed his hairy hopes, taking a unanimous decision in a great back-and-forth battle at UFC on Fox 1 just last month to earn the next shot at Edgar. So close, yet so far away, for both veterans. No other bouts or a potential venue for UFC on FX 4 are known at this time. UFC 53: "Heavy Hitters" in June 2005 was the last time the organization held an event in South Jersey. Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for the latest UFC on FX 4 news and notes.

Swansea’s goal made this Man City fan cry ()

With Manchester United going up 2-0 on West Brom 10 minutes earlier, Man City fans immediately knew what Luke Moore's 83rd-minute goal to put Swansea up 1-0 on their side meant. And so, at least a few of them started crying. Both scorelines ended the way they were in that moment, allowing Man United to hop over City in the table. And though there's still a significant chunk of the season left to be played, the man pictured above knows it won't be easy. The fact that he was on camera at this moment will probably come as a surprise to him, though.

UFC 140 Still Not Sold Out A Week Out From The Event

Eight months ago the UFC packed 55,000 fans into the Rogers Centre to watch Georges St. Pierre defend his welterweight title against Jake Shields. The atmosphere was electric and the Canadian fans showed up in droves to support the national hero. This week there is a completely different story. Instead of an enormous sold out crowd, Jon Jones and Lyoto Machida may do battle in front of a partially filled Air Canada Centre. The Toronto Sun was the first to report on the ticketing troubles surrounding the event. When the UFC rolled into town for UFC 129, the city was abuzz with excitement and expectations. The first event was a huge success with local media doing their part in building up the supercard. For UFC 140, it would appear that they just haven't gotten on board with the promotion. The city is all but dead with the event just a week away. From the Toronto Sun: Despite the great line-up, there's been little hoopla over the city's second ever UFC event, which still has tickets available. In reality, with so many cities around the world clamouring to host the UFC these days, Toronto should be counting its blessings. Only Montreal in 2010 and Las Vegas, where the UFC is headquartered, have ever held two events in the same year, Wright said. The UFC will likely come to town at least once a year from now on, he said, adding the ACC show is more in line with a typical UFC event. As with most UFC events, they usually do a major marketing push the week of the fights so come Saturday the expectation is that the Air Canada Centre will be full. However, the fact that one of the last major cards of 2011 is not yet sold out may reflect on the general feeling that the UFC's schedule is having adverse affects on their revenue stream. It may also be asking too much for the local audience to get excited for MMA for a second time in the same year after such a huge first event. SBN coverage of UFC 140: Jones vs. Machida
