The UFC has typically ran an event during the NFL playoffs and this one will go down the same weekend as the conference semifinals. Those games, though, usually air early on Sunday and would be over before the main card of the UFC event begins.
No fights were announced for the card.
UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley is a native of the area, but he is unlikely to be ready to go for the card.
