Dallas area representatives Matt Hobar, James Vick, and Chas Skelly head to Tulsa looking to pick up some much needed wins
A trio of Dallas area fighters step into the cage this Saturday night when the Ultimate Fighting Championship heads to the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Taking part in the UFC Fight Night 49 event, Matt Hobar, James Vick, and Chas Skelly will all most certainly be looking for much needed wins in order to progress their burgeoning careers in this one. UFN 49 will also feature former lightweight champion Benson Henderson taking on Rafael dos Anjos in the main event along with a solid undercard. Likewise, the show will be the second leg of a Saturday double header with Michael Bisping and Cung Le also facing off at UFC Fight Night 48 from Macau, China earlier on in the day.
Elsewhere on the UFC Fight Night 49 card, veteran Thales Leites takes on Francis Carmont in a pivotal middleweight matchup while Mike Pyle takes on Srikeforce vet Jordan Mein.See the entire card for UFC Fight Night 49 below.
