The UFC will make its long-awaited return to Boston August 17, as part of the launch of FOX Sports 1. The card for the FS 1 debut has begun to take shape, as two exciting bouts have been announced.
Massachusetts native Joe Lauzon will take on hard-hitting Michael Johnson in a battle of TUF veterans. Both men, known for their fan-friendly styles, will be looking to get back in the win column and move up the lightweight ranks.
In welterweight action, former top contender Thiago Alves will return from a lengthy injury layoff to face the streaking Matt Brown. After winning five straight (with four wins coming by KO/TKO), Brown will look to jump into the division's top ten with a victory over "The Pitbull".
More information on the card, including a main event and ticket information, will be announced in following weeks on UFC.com.
