UFC Fight Night: Shogun vs. Sonnen (also known as UFC Fight Night 26) was a mixed martial arts event held on August 17, 2013 at the TD Garden in Boston.[2]

Background

The event was the first UFC event broadcast on Fox Sports 1.[3][4]

The main event was contested between former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Maurício Rua and Chael Sonnen.[5] The bout was first linked to UFC 161, as Sonnen was mentioned as a short notice replacement for Rua's original opponent Antônio Rogério Nogueira, who was out of the bout with a back injury. Visa issues prevented Sonnen from getting into Canada, resulting in Rua being pulled from the event altogether.[6]

Nick Ring was expected to face Uriah Hall at the event. However, Ring was pulled from the bout and replaced by Josh Samman[7] Samman was subsequently forced from the bout and replaced by returning UFC fighter John Howard.[8]

Akira Corassani was expected to face Mike Brown at the event; however, Corassani pulled out of the bout and was replaced by Steven Siler.[9]

Thiago Alves was expected to face Matt Brown at the event; however, Alves pulled out of the bout citing an injury and was replaced by Mike Pyle.[10]

Andy Ogle was expected to face Conor McGregor at the event; however, Ogle pulled out of the bout citing an injury and was replaced by Max Holloway.[11]
