Gilbert "El Nino" Melendez takes on Diego Sanchez. Melendez the former Strikeforce Lightweight champion, coming off a controversial decision to then lightweight champion Benson Henderson looks to get back into title contention against The Ultimate Fighter Season 1 champion Sanchez. This fight has the potential to be the fight of the night because of the exciting fighting styles of both fighters.

Daniel "DC" Cormier takes on Roy Nelson (20-8-0). There is a little bad blood in this fight between the undefeated Olympic wrestler Cormier, and the hard hitting Nelson. Cormier will be looking to solidify his position as the number one contender to the heavyweight belt held by Cain Velasquez with a win over Nelson.


Cain Velasquez takes on Junior Dos Santos (16-2-0). In the main event of this pay per view, Junior Dos Santos is looking to avenge his only defeat in the UFC against Velasquez who lost the heavyweight belt to Dos Santos in his only UFC loss, but regained it in the rematch. Dos Santos made quick work of Velasquez in the first fight, and Velasquez dominated him in the rematch. Both fighters are used to each other’s fighting style now, which should make for a great main event.
