During Tuesday’s new edition of FUEL TV’s “UFC Live” it was announced that the UFC would make their long awaited return to Atlanta, Georgia. This will mark the first time in nearly four years that the promotion has returned to ‘Hot’lanta.
The last time the UFC visited Atlanta was for UFC 88 back in 2008, where Rashad Evans knocked out former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell.
Rumors circulating are that the event will be held at the home of the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks, Philips Arena.
While no bouts have been announced yet for UFC 146, look for the main card to air on Pay-Per-View and fights to be announced very soon.

The Atlanta Hawks don’t have much time for rookies
27-year old power forward Ivan Johnson has looked pretty good when he has been on the floor for the Hawks so far this year. He has played in 6 games (0 starts) for the Hawks so far this year and he is averaging 9.3 minutes, 3.0 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. Johnson is going to have a hard time getting consistent playing time with the Hawks as they have a lot...
Atlanta Hawks: Hawks 106, Nets 101
Newark, N.J.–Larry Drew has been pretty conservative with his starters’ minutes this season. Until tonight, when he suddenly decided to ride them and go all out to beat the Nets. 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).
