(PRESS RELEASE) -- The stacked September of exclusively live fights on UFCFIGHTPASS.com begins this Saturday, with the inaugural Invicta FC event live and on-demand from Kansas City.

Finally, UFC FIGHT PASS will be the only place to see the opening prelims of UFC 178 on September 27, where Manny Gamburyan collides with Cody Gibson and Jon Tuck takes on Kevin Lee.
