UFC president Dana White announced the charity event “UFC Fight for the Troops” Wednesday during a live broadcast of UFC Fight Night 14 on Spike TV.
The prominent U.S. Army installation will host the event, which will also be telecasted live on Spike TV. White said proceeds will be donated to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, a not-for-profit organization that provides financial support to the families of deceased and severely wounded military veterans.
In December 2006, the promotion hosted UFC Fight Night 7 on the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar base in San Diego for an enthusiastic crowd of servicemen and women.
Competitors for Dec. 10’s charity outing have not been named yet.
