UFC Fight Night 19 official for Sept. 16 in Oklahoma City, tickets on sale July 9
The UFC's first trip to Oklahoma in nearly 15 years is now official.
As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) first reported in May, UFC Fight Night 19 – which will serve as the lead-in for Spike TV's "The Ultimate Fighter 10" debut – will take place in Oklahoma City.
With the Ford Center currently closed for renovations, the neighboring 15,000-seat Cox Convention Center will house the event.
Tickets for the UFC Fight Night 19, which range from just $35 to $200, are scheduled to go on sale to the general public on Saturday, July 11, at Ticketmaster.com.
UFC Fight Club members will have the first shot at tickets on Thursday, July 9, while UFC Newsletter subscribers will receive a password that will allow tickets to be purchased on Friday, July 10.
UFC Fight Night 19 is the UFC's first-ever trip to Oklahoma City, and only the second-ever to the state of Oklahoma. "UFC 4: Revenge of the Warriors," which saw Royce Gracie earn his third and final eight-man tournament title with wins over Ron van Clief, Keith Hackney and Dan Severn, took place Dec. 16, 1994 in Tulsa, Okla.
The event mirrors the UFC's recent strategy of entering new markets with the UFC Fight Night series. The Spike TV-televised events have recently ventured to cities in Colorado, Nebraska, Florida and Tennessee.
Following UFC Fight Night 19, the UFC will move 200 miles south to the American Airlines Center in Dallas for UFC 103, held just three days after the Oklahoma City event.
