Atlanta to Host UFC 146 on April 21st

Found January 10, 2012 on 5thRound.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Dana White,  Chuck Liddell
TEAMS: Atlanta Hawks

UFC President Dana White

The UFC has Georgia on their minds. During Tuesday’s edition of “UFC Tonight” on FUEL TV, the planet’s biggest mixed martial arts promotion announced they will be taking their talents to Atlanta on April 21st.

The event will mark the second Octagon show to hit the ATL. UFC 88 in September of 2008 was the organization’s debut in the Peach State.

Former light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans put Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell to sleep in the card’s featured contest. Philips Arena in Hotlanta hosted the festivities.

No word if the Atlanta Hawks’ home will hold the UFC’s followup event. Furthermore, no fights were reported for the roster.

Atlanta Hawks: Hawks 106, Nets 101

The absence of Marvin Williams explains some of that but I thought the bench guys had OK stints in the first half, only to never be seen again (except for Zaza Pachulia). “Going into halftime...
