"UFC 112: Invincible" headed to pay-per-view in U.S.; event airs live at 1 p.m. ET

Quote:

With just three fights officially announced for the UFC's first-ever trip to the United Arab Emirates, "UFC 112: Invincible" already has the makings of one of the highest-profile cards in the history of the promotion.

But with Anderson Silva prepared to defend his title against Vitor Belfort and lightweight champ B.J. Penn locking up with Frankie Edgar at the April 10 event, many U.S.-based fans wondered exactly how they were going to be able to see the UFC's first-ever open-air event.

Unsurprisingly, the answer is on pay-per-view.

The UFC today announced that "UFC 112: Invincible," which takes place in Abu Dhabi, will air in the U.S. on pay-per-view. But unlike some events that take place outside of North America, fans will have the option of watching the event live.

UFC 112 will air on pay-per-view at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT). A replay of the card will also broadcast in the UFC's normal timeslot of 10 p.m. ET (7 p.m. PT).

In addition to the two title fights on the card, the UFC has also announced that MMA legend Renzo Gracie will face one of the most dominant champions in UFC history, Matt Hughes.

UFC 112 also marks the UFC's first attempt at an outdoor show. The event takes place at Concert Arena at the Ferrari World theme park on Yas Island.

The UFC 112 full card is currently expected to feature:

* Champ Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort (for middleweight title)
* Champ B.J. Penn vs. Frankie Edgar (for lightweight title)
* Matt Hughes vs. Renzo Gracie
* Kendall Grove vs. Mark Munoz*
* Nick Osipczak vs. Rick Story*
* Rafael dos Anjos vs. Terry Etim*
* John Gunderson vs. Paul Taylor*
* Paul Kelly vs. Matt Veach*
