Las Vegas, Nevada – The BIGGEST collection of heavyweight title contenders will be on display this Memorial Day weekend as the Ultimate Fighting Championship...
Former Strikeforce heavyweight Fabricio Werdum will make his return to the UFC at UFC 143 against "Big Country" Roy Nelson.
The fight was announced earlier today by MMAWeekly.com.
You would think that having two of Mixed Martial Art's most respected fighters retire in one night is kind of a big deal. Both Pride FC Grand Prix Champion Mirko "Crocop" Filipović and former lightweight and welterweight champion BJ Penn decided to announce their retirement this past weekend after both had been defeated at UFC 137. On this night however, the magnitude of their decisions had been overshadowed by the excitement caused by newly crowned number one welter weight contender, Nick Diaz. Time to break down what's coming up next for the fighters of UFC 137.
The pay-per-view event, featuring a light heavyweight contest between Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Matt Hamill, takes place at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena.
