The Farm – Searchlight, 3 pm

Las Vegas in general and Mandalay Bay in particular are girding their loins in preparation for Saturday fight night at the MBay Events Center featuring UFC 100 and the rematch between Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir.

Good for UFC – anything that can last long enough to have “100” attached to it these days must be doing something right. UFC President Dana White has guided his enterprise to the top of the mixed martial arts heap with and is getting closer  to his goal of establishing UFC as a mainstream sport.

And definitely good for Las Vegas which benefits from a sold out show and a full slate of parties and events that encourage fans to get around town and party with the stars.

The first ever UFC Fan Expo is going on in the Exhibit Hall at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. Fans will have a chance to get up close and personal with dozens of MMA professionals through a series of grappling tournaments, autograph sessions, Maxim Octagon Girl Search, Hall of Fame induction ceremony and more. Special training and development sessions with the biggest names in the business are being offered for an additional price.
