UFC News: UFC announces stadium event in Australia

The Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne Herald Sun reported today that UFC 193 will be taking place at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia.

The show, which takes place on 11/15 (it will air in the usual PPV time slot on 11/14 in North America) had been earmarked for Melbourne but the decision had not been made whether to run at the 55,000-seat stadium or the smaller Rod Laver Arena. 

It will be the first UFC event in Melbourne.  The top fights on the show will be Robbie Lawler vs. Carlos Condit for the welterweight title and a rematch between Mark Hunt vs. Antonio Bigfoot Silva, of one of the greatest heavyweight fights in UFC history.
