It has been confirmed that the UFC will be headed to Nashville for a Fight Night on April 1. The show will lead into the season premier of the new season of The Ultimate Fighter: U.K vs. U.S. No word on when tickets will go on sale.

The event will take place at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium and not the Sommet Center where the Nashville Predators play.

The Ultimate Fighter Season 9 will feature a team of U.S. fighters headed up by the winner of Dan Henderson vs. Rich Franklin against a British team coached by Michael Bisping. The show is set to feature a mix of middleweight and welterweight fighters.
