Originally expected as the co-headliner for UFC 128, which features Mauricio “Shogun” Rua defending his UFC Light Heavyweight Championship against Rashad Evans in the main-event, the upcoming Tito Ortiz vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira fight will now be offered for free.
MMAJunkie reported Tuesday that the Ortiz-Nogueira bout will now headline UFC Fight Night 24, which is expected to be broadcast by Spike TV on March 26.
Ortiz did not confirm specifics on the change, but he did announce on his Twitter that his March fight with Nogueira will no longer be at New Jersey’s UFC 128.
