Here’s an article from today’s Washington Post on the UFC coming to the DC area.

White said that lightweights Nate Diaz (11-4) and Gray Maynard (8-0) will square off Jan. 11 at Patriot Center in Fairfax in the main event of Ultimate Fight Night 20, one in a series of cards that have been televised by Spike TV.

White said that he expects the show’s attendance numbers to confirm his belief that the Washington area is a fertile place to bring bigger shows such as Saturday’s UFC 104, a pay-per-view event that will take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. UFC 104 features a main event between current light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua.

Let’s see how much tickets will cost. I’m sure they’ll have no problem selling them. I see tons of yokels with Affliction and Tapout t-shirts all over the place. Not to mention there’s a Ed Hardy store coming to Tysons Corner. Now that’s another story!
