Where to Watch UFC 143 in Las Vegas

WE KNOW THERE’S a little something going on this Sunday night in the sports world – but that doesn’t discount another super event here in Las Vegas this Saturday night. Not long ago, the UFC 143 main event could have been considered a welterweight title unification bout.  Ex-Strikeforce champ Nick Diaz will be in a brawl vs. Ex-WEC champ Carlos Condit for the interim welterweight belt. The winner goes up against UFC 170-lb. champ, Georges St. Pierre to unify the belt – presumably later this year after GSP recovers from an injury.

Several great fights are lined up on the fight card for UFC 143. My picks for DON’T BLINK fights are Josh Koscheck vs. Mike Pierce and local fighter Roy “Big Country” Nelson vs. Fabricio Verdum in what’s sure to be a heavyweight slugfest. Koscheck gets a lot of boos, but the fact is, he’s a well-rounded vet wrestler who’s not afraid to bang, and Mike Pierce is an up and coming guy who just beat up a very tough Jon Fitch. Roy Nelson is a lean machine now, and he’s hungry for a title shot. Verdum has fought the top heavyweights in several organizations, so… you know, don’t blink.

We will be watching at one of the UFC 143 Fight Parties in Las Vegas at Station Casinos listed below.

*PLEASE NOTE: Sunset Station had a scheduling conflict, so those who are used to watching with us at Club Madrid will want to cruise over to Fiesta Henderson, GVR or Boulder Station if you’re looking for a fun place to watch UFC 143 in Henderson.

Where to Watch UFC Rio in Las Vegas

THIS SATURDAY NIGHT, January 14, at UFC Rio, we’ll see the dynamic speed, skill and power that the best two UFC Featherweights have. Jose Aldo vs. Chad Mendes is the main event Saturday night in Brazil, and we’re sure it won’t disappoint. The fighters have very different styles, but both are at the top of their game. Many of the fans (including the ones in our office!) are just as excited to see if Vitor Belfort can get back on track at middleweight vs. Anthony “Rumble” Johnson.

Check out the official UFC Rio Preview below, then come watch it with us this weekend at one of our UFC Viewing Parties in Las Vegas.

Oops! You found an older post.
Get it on over here for information about our UFC Viewing Parties for this weekend!

LIKE THE POSTER SAYS… It’ doesn’t get any bigger than this: Brock Lesnar and Alistair Overeem will combine for 521 lbs of action-packed Mixed Martial Arts mayhem when they meet on December 30th in Las Vegas. That’s not the only reason this is a great night to watch UFC. There will be title-contenders in the two fights leading up to the main event when Jui-Jitsu practitioner Nate Diaz takes on a red hot Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, and veteran wrestler Jon Fitch battles a well-rounded 11-1 Johnny Hendricks. Each fight promises non-stop action and you can catch it all with us at seven Station Casinos fight parties throughout the Las Vegas valley.

Get it on over here for information about our UFC Viewing Parties for this weekend!

WE’RE BETTING THE swelling isn’t even gone from last weekend’s epic FOX Debut Fights, and we’re ready for more! Yes, tt’s been a busy month for the UFC, and that’s completely okay with fight fans like us. Especially the long-time fans who know how long this main event has been in the making. Shogun Rua and Dan Henderson square off Saturday and it’s going to be one you don’t want to miss. Hendo returns to the UFC after finishing off Fedor in Strikeforce in very impressive fashion. Shogun took out Forrest Griffin brutally in Brazil not long ago. Now they’re ready for the next step towards fighting for Jon “Bones” Jones’ UFC Light-Heavyweight belt.

UPDATE: Green Valley Ranch and Red Rock Viewing Parties are $10, not $20 like previous events.

Talkin’ Vegas, Vacations & Stand Up For Skateparks with Tony Hawk

STATION CASINOS BLOG (SCB): What’s Stand Up For Skateparks, and how can Las Vegas residents contribute?

Tony Hawk: (TH) Stand Up For Skateparks is one of the most family-centric events of the year in Las Vegas. There are fun games and activities in a carnival atmosphere, plus an incredible demonstration of vert skating. Also a performance by Ben Harper, who happens to serve on our Board of Directors. The event raises critical funds to help the foundation create public skateparks in Las Vegas and across the country. Las Vegas residents are welcome to join us by buying tickets at StandUpForSkateparks.org or donating directly to tonyhawkfoundation.org/donate/.

SCB: We hear that you have some friends who are celebrities and athletes joining us at Red Rock on November 5. Who’s scheduled to appear?

TH: The Vert Demo will include some of the best skaters and BMXers in the world–Mat Hoffman, Andy Macdonald, Kevin Robinson, Pierre-Luc Gagnon, Kevin Staab and Mitchie Brusco riding my personal ramp.

Visit StandUpForSkateparks.org for tickets & event details

SCB: What types of items can your guests bid on?

TH: The Live and Silent auctions will include all sorts of vacations, autographed jerseys from sports stars, signed guitars from Green Day, Jane’s Addiction, Pearl Jam, and others, a custom car and motorcycle that I helped design, plus exclusive experiences you can’t find anywhere else.

Keep up with Tony (if you can) on twitter @TonyHawk, and be sure to connect with Red Rock on twitter @RedRockCasino.

SCB: How long have you and your foundation been helping skaters in Vegas?

TH: We’ve been working to help build free, public skateparks across the U.S. since 2002. Stand Up For Skateparks was first brought to Las Vegas in 2009, and since then we’ve launched efforts to build two skateparks. This year we’ll launch number three.

Rub elbows with celebs, athletes on Nov. 5 at Red Rock

Rub elbows with celebs, athletes on Nov. 5 at Red Rock.

SCB: From listening to your radio show, we know you’re a pretty huge music fan, and so are we. (We just wrapped up a big summer concert series with Weezer back in August), bands like Rancid and X have rocked SUFS in the past, but the groove is more funky this year. Got a favorite Ben Harper tune?

TH: Don’t Give Up On Me Now

SCB: You have an impressive fan base on twitter! Do you spend more time skating or tweeting with fans?

TH: Definitely more concentrated time on skating. My Tweeting is generally done right after an event or while traveling.

SCB: As a Dad, what’s a great vacation with you and your kids consist of?

TH: Whatever inspires them and gets them off the computer. We spent a week in Kauai last year and it was fun not being surrounded by all the distractions of our home life (including skating). I plan to take them to Australia next year, so I am hoping that will be the “greatest” vacation yet.

SCB: How often do you visit Las Vegas? What stands out as a memorable Las Vegas moment?

TH: A couple weeks ago I took all my boys to see Blue Man Group. Seeing their faces light up, and knowing that they truly “get” all of the nuances of a show like that makes me happy.

SCB: Everyone who visits Vegas has to try a game or two- what’s your game of choice?

TH: I believe craps has the best odds if you are patient, but I like Blackjack because it is more of a social experience if you get your friends at the same table.

EVERY TIME WE see a fighter back out due to injury, fight fans wonder if the card is worth checking out or not. Personally, every time I say that, I see an incredible night of fights!

Yes, this fight card has seen some changes, and no matter if you love him or hate him, Nick Diaz ended up in the Main Event after all, which is something UFC fans have been eagerly anticipating.
