Club C to host UFC 190: Rousey vs Correia
For the first time, Club C will be hosting a live showing of Ultimate Fighting Championship on Sunday, Aug. 2.
The mixed martial arts event, UFC 190, will see the Women’s Bantamweight Championship bout between current champion Ronda Rousey and top contender Bethe Correia.
According to Club C director Juan ‘Pan’ Guerrero, the Sunday showing will be the “first of many” hosting of UFC fights.
“It will be ongoing for the next couple of months,” Guerrero said. “We are the only commercial establishment on Saipan that is currently licensed to show live UFC fights.”
Rousey, who hails from Riverside, California, will be defending her title for the sixth time since coming to the UFC.
After campaigning for a title shot against Rousey, Correa, who is from Brazil, will now have a chance to take it.
Both women fighters hold undefeated records. The actual fight will be held at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Guerrero said it only makes sense to offer this kind of entertainment as they have the facility and “the biggest screen on Saipan.”
The viewing is free of charge but customers are encouraged to take advantage of Club C’s six selections of beers that will be offered at $12 a bucket with a free plate of appetizer. It will also come with a free lanyard and a chance to win raffle prizes.
The promotion will start at 11am and will last until 6pm. For inquiries, contact Club C at 234-0088.
