Pittsburgh - UFC on Versus 4 is officially heading to "The Steel City."

The organization announced on Wednesday that the event will be held at Pittsburgh's Consol Energy Center, home of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The event will mark the UFC's first in Pittsburgh. Philadelphia is the only city in the state of Pennsylvania to host a UFC event thus far (UFC 101 in August 2009).

The arena is less than a year old, opening its doors in August 2010. It holds more than 18,000 seats for hockey events.

Several fights have already been announced for the event, including: Pat Barry vs. Cheick Kongo, Rich Attonito vs. Matt Brown, Manny Gamburyan vs. Tyson Griffin and Joe Stevenson vs. Javier Vazquez. No word just yet on the main event.

Of course, UFC on Versus 4 will mark the fourth UFC event televised live on the Versus network. The first aired in March 2010.
