Watch UFC 123 in Las Vegas at Station Casinos

Oops! You found an older post.
Go here for information about our UFC Viewing Parties for this weekend!

ONE YEAR AGO, few Mixed Martial Arts fans would have predicted losses for BJ Penn and Lyoto Machida. Both were on a roll and looking unbeatable. As things stand now, both fighters are looking to get back on track for their former belts. UFC fans know (now more than ever) that anything can happen in the Octagon. That’s why you should bring some friends and watch UFC 123 in Las Vegas at Station Casinos, as former Light Heavyweight champions with completely different styles go head-to-head in the Main Event: Rampage Jackson vs. Machida. Don’t blink during this one.

Longtime UFC veterans and fan favorites Penn and Matt Hughes will lock up for the third time on Saturday night at 170lbs. The last time Penn went up to this weight class (Welterweight), Georges St. Pierre won decisively. The last time he fought Huges, however, he won in a first-round submission. Another win over Hughes could put Penn back on track for another long win streak. Regardless of the outcome, watching Hughes vs. Penn means a victory for the fans. Both fighters are considered among the best UFC warriors of all time.

Red Rock Welcomes The Ultimate Fighter Tryouts

IN CASE YOU were wondering what all the tattooed tough guys with mohawks were doing at Red Rock on a Thursday morning, no worries – it was just the future of Mixed Martial Arts and Spike TV’s The Ultimate Fighter television show.

If you have been to any of our awesome Las Vegas UFC fight parties, you know that Station Casinos and Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa are big UFC fans. Today, at a ballroom-turned-audition-stage inside Red Rock, fighters tried out for next season’s The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) by showing off their mad grappling and striking skills and then got facials at the spa. (Yeah, probably not that last part). Dana White, President of the UFC, acted as overseer during the tryouts for 185- and-170 pound fighters, who paired off in one-on-one skill tests for a panel of coaches and trainers then followed with interviews for the “outside-the-Octagon” portion of TUF. About 300 prospective fighters tried out. After Thursday, the list was narrowed to closer to 100. Of course, over the next few months, that number reaches the 20-25 mark that we’ll see on Spike TV next spring.

Be sure to follow us on facebook and twitter for updates on future UFC events, fighter appearances and upcoming information about Red Rock’s new Octagon Club – the UFC Loyalty Program at Red Rock, where you can get VIP perks for attending fight parties.

Where to watch UFC 119 in Las Vegas? Station Casinos, of course!

MMA FANS KNOW that UFC 119 is a fight card that might be overlooked by some fans – but don’t make that mistake – there’s some great match-ups here. This is an event that has kept the MMA rumor sites guessing throughout the summer. For those of you who don’t follow, we’ll try to sum it up for you as quickly as possible:

UFC 119 Las Vegas Viewing Parties at Station Casinos

UFC 119 Las Vegas Viewing Parties at Station Casinos

There’s these two big scary Brazilian brothers, both named Antonio Nogiera (I know, it’s weird) so they go by “Big Nog” (Heavyweight) and “Little Nog” (Light Heavyweight) to make it easier on us Americans. Big Nog was to fight Frank Mir in the main event. Little Nog was the co-main event vs. Ryan Bader. Little Nog’s won 7 straight fights. Bader’s 12-0 and the winner of the Ultimate Fighter show a couple seasons ago. Both are gnarly fighters on a roll, in other words.

Then Big Nog gets hurt in practice, so Croatian kickboxer and Pride Fighting legend, Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovich agreed to step in and give it a go. He’s got tree trunks for legs, and used to be a Croatian Special Forces Law Enforcement Officer. Cro Cop vs. Mir might be the one of the most quotable fights ever. Cro Cop is known for an all-time great pre-fight threat: “Right leg hospital. Left leg cemetery.” Frank Mir went on the record recently saying that Cro Cop can “kick your head into the bleachers.” Two other Ultimate Fighter show alumni, CB Dollaway and Matt Mitrione, will try to climb the ranks in their fights on Saturday night. The rest of the fight card showcases what’s awesome about the middle weight classes of the UFC – anything can happen.  Sean Sherk, Melvin Guillard, Matt Serra and Chris Lytle can either knock their opponents out, or tie them in knots. Anybody’s guess which strategy they pick this Saturday night in Indy.

You can watch UFC 119 in Las Vegas at five Station Casinos locations at Viewing Parties on Saturday, September 25th, live on Pay-Per-View from the Conseco Field House in Indianapolis, Indiana.

A few notes to accompany the info below: pre-sale admission to the Viewing Party at Sunset Station’s Club Madrid starts at 5pm, and you can call ahead for table reservations at GVR and Red Rock parties.

Will it be "Lights Out" for Toney in his UFC debut?

UFC 118′S GOT the lightweight title rematch with Frankie Edgar and BJ Penn, a tough call after their last title fight that Edgar won by decision.

MMA vs. Boxing: How long will James Toney, a very accomplished boxer with legendary hand speed, last in his UFC debut? That seems to be the question surrounding “Lights Out” in his throw-down against accomplished MMA legend, Randy Couture.

As if those two Main Events weren’t enough, Saturday’s under-card is overflowing with some of the most exciting 155 and 170 lb. talent in the UFC: Kenny Florian, Gray Maynard, Nate Diaz , Demian Maia and Marcus Davis all have been known for thrilling finishes.

Watch as five of our Las Vegas Hotel Casinos host Viewing Parties on Saturday, August 28 for UFC 118, live on Pay-Per-View from the TD Garden in Boston.
