UFC Fight Night 21 Announced for N.C. with Florian vs. Gomi, Nelson vs. Struve
by MMAjunkie.com Staff on Feb 03, 2010 at 9:00 am ET

The UFC's long-rumored March 31 event is official with today's announcement of UFC Fight Night 21.

The event, which precedes the debut episode of "The Ultimate Fighter 11," takes place at Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, N.C., and airs on Spike TV.

Kenny Florian (12-4 MMA, 10-3 UFC) meets former PRIDE star Takanori Gomi (31-5 MMA, 0-0 UFC) in the headliner, and as MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) first reported on Tuesday, "TUF 10" champ Roy Nelson (14-4 MMA, 1-0 UFC) meets fast-rising heavyweight contender Stefan Struve (19-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC) in the co-headliner.

UFC Fight Night 21 marks just the fourth UFC event in North Carolina and the first since UFC Fight Night 16, an event also dubbed "UFC Fights for the Troops" that took place in December 2008 at Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville. The show helped benefit the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund and was co-hosted by the Fort Bragg military institution.

Tickets for UFC Fight Night 21 go on sale to the general public this Saturday, Feb. 6, at 10 a.m. ET (7 a.m. PT).

However, members of the UFC Fight Club (the UFC's official fan club) can purchase tickets this Thurday, Feb. 4, at 10 a.m. ET, and UFC.com newsletter subscribers can buy their tickets this Friday, Feb. 5 at 10 a.m. ET.

The event should help boost ratings for "TUF 11," which features 14 middleweight fighters coached by UFC legends Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz.

The latest UFC Fight Night 21 card now includes:

UFC FIGHT NIGHT ''FLORIAN VS. GOMI'', 3/21/2010 (Spike TV/ESPN-UK)
Bojangles Coliseum, Charlotte NC

In fact, that's an incredibly solid Fight Night right there. I'll definitely be tuning in for this one! I'll be rooting for Quarry, Nelson, and Florian.

That is a quality free card.
Hoping struve pulls off the huge upset & Gomi trains hard & has a return to form, sadly I see Florian picking him off for a comfortable points win.

Surprised Okami is on there, I thought Zuffa had dropped him for some reason!!

Bagpuss, dear Bagpuss,
Old fat furry cat-puss,
Wake up & look at the thing that I bring,
Wake up, be bright,
Be Golden & light,
Bagpuss, oh hear what I sing.

Florian / Gomi is extremely exciting.

I'm still convinced Florian can pretty much beat everyone at LW in the UFC besides BJ Penn.

My wife specificly told me to get "good seats" So I'm looking at the $100 range, we'll see how close that gets me.
