The UFC isn't messing around with it's big card in Houston. The news has come fast and furious about a slew of fights booked for the October card.
Frank Edgar and Gray Maynard will finally meet for the third time to settle their battle for the lightweight title. The winner may face Melvin Guillard, who is also on the card against Joe Lauzon. Earlier today, a middleweight showdown was also announced with Demian Maia facing Jorge Santiago.
Will there be any trouble selling those fights? Don't worry. Chael Sonnen is on the card against Brian Stann. Two more intriguing fights include Dave Herman against Mike Russow and Josh Grispi, in what could be a must-win situation against Matt Grice.
Update: Add another title fight to UFC 136 with Jose Aldo Jr. defending his 145-pound title against Kenny Florian. It looks like UFC 137 will also have a matchup between B.J. Penn and Carlos Condit.
The upcoming UFC cards are totally stacked. UFC on Versus 5 features a guarantee KO or Fight of the Night with Dan Hardy and Chris Lytle. Jim Miller also faces Ben Henderson. At UFC 134, it's Anderson Silva against Yushin Okami. Mauricio Rua-Griffin and Brendan Schaub-Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira fight as well. Jon Jones and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson headline UFC 135 in front of Matt Hughes and Diego Sanchez. The return to Las Vegas in late October is topped by Georges St-Pierre vs. Nick Diaz with Matt Mitrione-Cheick Kongo on the undercard.
