Over the past few days the UFC on FOX 3 card which takes place on May 5 at the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, NJ has begun to take some serious shape.
One day after Dana White announced Josh Koscheck vs. Johny Hendricks, the boss was back on his twitter account to announce Alan Belcher vs. Rousimar Palhares.
Belcher (17-6) who made his long awaited return to the octagon with a win against Jason MacDonald at UFC Fight Night 25 after suffering an almost career threatening eye injury. He is on a 3 fight win streak and believes that a win over Palhares could definitely put him “in the mix” in the middleweight division.
Like Belcher, Palhares (14-3) is also on a 3 fight streak with his most recent victory coming over Mike Massenzio at the UFC 142: Aldo vs. Mendes last month in Brazil.
