If you’re going to be in Las Vegas for NASCAR’s race weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, you’ll more than likely be able see Sprint Cup driver Kevin Harvick at a UFC fight the night before the Kobalt 400.
That’s because Harvick owns KHI Management, which represents UFC fighter Miesha Tate. It was announced Tuesday that Tate is in the co-main event of UFC 197 at the MGM Grand which will decide the bantamweight title.
