The full fight card for next month's UFC 114 event, including a five-fight main card, is now set.
UFC officials today released the lineup for the May 29 event, which takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas with a pay-per-view headliner between former light-heavyweight champs Rashad Evans and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.
Also slated for the main card are Forrest Griffin vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, Michael Bisping vs. Dan Miller, Todd Duffee vs. Mike Russow, and John Hathaway vs. Diego Sanchez.
The six-fight preliminary card, which includes many fighters that otherwise would be worthy of TV spots, includes Dong Hyun Kim vs. Amir Sadollah, Efrain Escudero vs. Dan Lauzon, Melvin Guillard vs. Thiago Tavares, Luiz Cane vs. Cyrille Diabate, Joe Brammer vs. Aaron Riley, and Jesse Forbes vs. Ryan Jensen.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) previously reported all 11 matchups. (For detailed fight breakdowns, check out the link to the UFC 114 page below.)
UFC 114 takes place in conjunction with UFC Fan Expo 2010, which is being hosted by the MGM's sister property from May 28-29 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. The two-day fan festival, trade show and exhibition concludes with Saturday's pay-per-view event.
