UFC 137 tickets on sale next week for Las Vegas' "St-Pierre vs. Diaz" event
Tickets for the UFC's October return to Sin City go on sale next week.
UFC 137 takes place Oct. 29 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, and in the pay-per-view headliner, UFC welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre (22-2 MMA, 16-2 UFC) takes on ex-Strikeforce champ Nick Diaz (25-7 MMA, 6-4 UFC).
Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, Sept. 9, at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT local time).
However, pre-sale periods are set for UFC Fight Club members (Wednesday, Sept. 7, at 1 p.m. ET) and UFC.com e-newsletter subscribers (Thursday, Sept. 8, at 1 p.m. ET).
In addition to the headliner, which resulted from Diaz vacating his Strikeforce title to rejoin the UFC for the first time in five years, UFC 137 features a welterweight co-headliner of Carlos Condit (27-5 MMA, 4-1 UFC) vs. B.J. Penn (16-7-2 MMA, 12-6-2 UFC).
