Tickets for the Ultimate Fighting Championship's year-end UFC 155 event go on sale this week.

"UFC 155: Dos Santos vs. Velasquez 2" takes place Dec. 29 at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena and features a heavyweight title fight between current champion Junior Dos Santos (15-1 MMA, 9-0 UFC) and the man he beat for the belt, Cain Velasquez (10-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC), in the pay-per-view's main event.

Tickets for the event go on sale to the general public Friday at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT local time) and are available at the venue box office and Ticketmaster locations. Ticket prices start at $75 and go up to $800, plus fees.

UFC 155 will be the 24th UFC event at MGM Grand Garden Arena, which most recently hosted "UFC 148: Silva vs. Sonnen II" on July 7.

The current UFC 155 lineup includes:
  • Champ Junior Dos Santos vs. Cain Velasquez - for heavyweight title
  • Phil Davis vs. Forrest Griffin
  • Tim Boetsch vs. Chris Weidman

Cant wait for this fight, 1st was a 1 sided fight. Really like both these fighters, hopefully Velasquez will bring it this time & it'll be a good fight. Weidman-Boetsch will be a good fight, Weidman will really solidify his claim to a title shot with a win.

Decent card, want to see Cain Vs JDS II. First fight was random, whilst JDS won fair and square that was a punch Cain should have never got caught with, it was telegraphed, not technical and poorly executed?but just happen to land on the back of the ear in the perfect spot.

Not taking anything away from JDS but I think the 2nd fight will be much more competitive and people shouldn't be writing Cain off.

 

eduardoschafer on Oct 22, 2012 at 7:44 am ET
so basically what you r saying is that the best boxer in this sport landed a not technical, poorly executed punch and dropped the guy that everybody believed to be the heavyweight at the time?
 

Jackson5 on Oct 22, 2012 at 7:49 am ET

Correct, the fact that he is one of if not the best boxer in the sport makes it worse.

Watch it again, he looped that punch from way back and didn't even connect with his knuckle, or in fact fist, it was a club more than a punch.

So the fact remains, it was a poorly thrown and executed punch that Cain should not of got caught by.

 

eduardoschafer on Oct 22, 2012 at 8:07 am ET
Are you serious dude? jus watched on slowmo, he faked the left and threw a big right hand with speed and power right to the side of the head. What part was not technical or poorly executed in your opinion?
 

Jackson5 on Oct 22, 2012 at 8:21 am ET

The set up was smart but the actual punch thrown was poor, albeit powerful. It's just down to opinion, I use to watch study a lot of boxing years ago and I am quite critical of how punches are thrown.

To me a technical and well executed punch is thrown without telegraphing, not from the hip and should land on the opponents chin and with the knuckle or at the very leasy closed fist.

Again not taking anything from JDS, he has good boxing but I just think that punch was one of his lesser technical strikes.

*not have gotten

Wow, great lineup of fights.? BUT, at $ 75 to $ 800 there are going to be some howls of protest if one or more fighters pulls out due to injury.? Not that it has happened before ....

Tough choice for ticket buyers - buy now and get the best seats or buy later when you are sure all the fighters are going to show up and you get a less than perfect seat.

A crazy fact I recently read ?

In 1929 Gene Tunney defeated hard-punching Jack Dempsey in Chicago. The live gate was the largest of the time, 2.6 million. The Champ, Gene Tunney, received a 1 million dollar purse for the fight.

Do you think Junior Dos Santos will get a 1 million dollar purse alone for this fight?

cains chin will have im in light heayweight soon enuff
 

uxood on Oct 22, 2012 at 10:40 am ET
Yup, I see Cain moving down to LHW before I see Jones moving up to HW.
 

xjoey420x on Oct 22, 2012 at 12:17 pm ET
i was thinking about going to this card but starting at $75 is steep when you know 1 or more of these fights won't happen to due to injury with the way things have been going. maybe if it isn't sold out I will buy tickets when it gets closer. i can get my live mma fix when the world series of fighting comes out those tickets range from $20-$100?

Bad news for Forrest Griffin.
 

silverbacc on Oct 22, 2012 at 3:56 pm ET
another win for davis and another win for JDS.
 

silverbacc on Oct 22, 2012 at 8:27 pm ET
here are my picks for this card: JDS, davis, weidman, maynard, belcher, vemola, meathead, koch in fight of the night, pickett in the other fight of the night, erick perez in the hardest fight to call.
