UFC Fight Night 16 Wiki
Also known as Ultimate Fight Night 16, UFC: Fight for the Troops was a fundraising fight card held at the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, North Carolina. It helped raise funds for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, which provides support for severely wounded military personnel. In the main event, TUF 1 contestant Josh Koscheck knocked out Yoshiyuki Yoshida in the first round.
The event reportedly generated over $4 million for the fund during its three-hour broadcast.
