The mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion Ultimate Fighting Championship brings the most anticipated event in the arena! All is set for UFC 129: St-Pierre vs. Shields this Saturday, April 30, 2011 at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and streaming worldwide. It will be UFC’s first event in the province of Ontario and the sixth time for Canada to host this promotion.
Expected to be the biggest UFC event in history, it smashed previous MMA attendance and gate entrance record in North America. It reportedly sold over 55,000 tickets for the Rogers Centre, formerly known as Skydome. Canada will transform into a UFC marvel as this year’s two-day UFC Fan Expo falls together with UFC 129. It will run from April 29-30, 2011 at the Direct Energy Centre, also in Toronto.
