Fight fans from across southern Ontario are expected to flood downtown Toronto when the Ultimate Fighting Championship makes its city debut later this month.

Now, GO Transit says it will help ease their battle getting home after fight by adding extra late-night trips following the anticipated event on April 30.

Two extra trains will depart Union Station about 30 minutes after the event at the Rogers Centre wraps up, giving transit riders plenty of time to make it from the event to the train.

A Lakeshore West train will head westbound, making all stops on its way to the Aldershot GO Station, with a bus connection to Hamilton's GO Centre.

A Lakeshore east train will head eastbound, making all stops on its way to the Oshawa GO Station, with a bus connection to Bowmanville and Newcastle.

The UFC's first foray into Ontario has been a hotly anticipated ticket ever since Queen's Park announced the previously banned form of prize fighting would finally be allowed inside the province.

More than 55,000 tickets were snatched up as quickly as they were made available, making the mixed martial arts title fight a sellout and setting new attendance records.

Welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre will headline UFC 129, the sport's debut in Toronto, defending his title against Jake Shields at the Rogers Centre on April 30.

In addition to the return trips, GO Transit says it will provide extra trains earlier in the day, for those attending the UFC Fan Exo at the Direct Energy Centre that afternoon.

Full schedule information is available on the GO Transit website.
