UFC fighter Nate Diaz (9-2) will look to put a dent on the record of veteran Josh ‘The Dentist” Neer (24-6-1) in the main event of UFC Fight 15 Wednesday, September 17 at 8 p.m. (ET) live on Rogers Sportsnet and Rogers Sportsnet HD.
The fight will also be broadcast later on Sportsnet West and Pacific at 7 p.m. (MT)/7 p.m. (PT). The UFC Fight 15 card will be followed by the premiere episode of The Ultimate Fighter 8 on Wednesday, September 17 at 11 p.m. (ET)/9 p.m. (PT).
