UFC 61 Rumbles Into Mandalay Bay

The Ultimate Fighting Championship rumbles into Vegas for UFC 61 – Bitter Rivals on July 8. Tim Sylvia & Andrei Arlovski go head to head for the World Heavyweight Title while Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock settle their differences in a grudge match.

The venue is close to being sold out, but if you can’t get inside the Mandalay Bay arena, the UFC has set up two area live closed-circuit feeds to watch the matches at the MGM Grand and the Luxor. You can also see the event on pay-per-view or on broadband via UFC on Demand.

The UFC matches are full-contact fights, with very little padding. A little more brutal than I would like, but it has a huge following amongst fight fans.
