The legendary Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Octagon is set to ride into Milwaukee for Harley-Davidson's 110th Anniversary celebration, giving fans of the two all-American heavyweight brands an opportunity to witness one of the hardest-hitting live fights of the year – the UFC 164 Harley-Davidson Hometown Throwdown.
UFC stars including Cain Velasquez, Mike Chiesa and Matt Hughes will be at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in downtown Milwaukee on Aug. 31, 2013 for the action-packed card, which will feature more than 10 hard-hitting bouts. Fans will also have an opportunity to get up close and personal with many of their favorite fighters during a special autograph session.
Fans who purchase 110th Anniversary celebration ticket packages by June 12 will be eligible to participate in a special pre-sale for UFC 164 from May 30 to June 12. Ticket prices range from $60 to $400 before taxes and fees. Fans can buy as many as eight tickets as part of the pre-sale.
"UFC and Harley-Davidson fans will experience the passion of the world's best fighters when they duke it out in the Octagon in our backyard here in Milwaukee during our 110th Anniversary," said Mark-Hans Richer, Chief Marketing Officer at Harley-Davidson. "This UFC Hometown Throwdown is a unique chance to see hard-hitting action right in the middle our anniversary celebration."
