The UFC Fight Night series makes its triumphant return this Saturday, August 17, when the promotion takes its trademark Octagon to the brand new Fox Sports 1 network.

The history-making event will feature a main event between legendary striker Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and legendary smack talker Chael Sonnen, in addition to 12 other fights.

With 13 bouts—many of which can be classed intriguing for either the clash of styles or the competitiveness—some legitimate stars and what, in all likelihood, will be an amped crowd packing the TD Garden to the brim, UFC Fight Night 26 has all the makings of a solid show.

Fox Sports 1 prelims card include:

    Brad Pickett vs. Michael McDonald
    Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway
    Mike Brown vs. Steven Siler
    Diego Brandao vs. Daniel Pineda
