This Saturday the UFC presents the fans with UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort from its home stomping grounds at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The card features the biggest threat to “The Spider” Anderson Silva’s (27-4) middleweight crown to date as he takes on the blistering hand speed and undeniable power of “The Phenom” Vitor Belfort (19-8), as well as a host of other great match-ups. Forrest Griffin (17-6) will be making his long awaited return to the Octagon against the man that Silva took the middleweight title from in 2006, “Ace” Rich Franklin (27-5), and light heavyweight superstar “Darth” Ryan Bader (12-0) will put his undefeated record on the line against the man Bruce Buffer called “the next Muhammad Ali”, “Bones” Jon Jones (11-1). Also in action are former WEC warriors “Cowboy” Donald Cerrone (12-4) and Miguel Torres (37-3) as they make their UFC debuts against Paul Kelly (11-3) and Antonio Banuelos (18-6), respectively. The last main card combatants are the NCAA wrestling coach “The Juggernaut” Jake Ellenberger (22-5) and his opponent, the deadly submission fighter Carlos Eduardo Rocha (9-0). The match is a test for both men, as Ellenberger saved his reputation by defeating up-and-coming prospects and Rocha is just such a prospect looking to send a message to the rest of the welterweight division.

One of Canada’s top MMA promotions, The Fight Club (TFC), brings its fans in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada TFC 12: Devastation on Friday, December 10. The Shaw Conference Centre plays host to a promising card featuring ten bouts, including two TFC title fights featuring a handful of Canadian MMA superstars like former TFC Light Heavyweight Champion and Maximum Fighting Championship (MFC) veteran “The Matrix” Victor Valimaki (16-6) taking on Karl Knothe (16-5) for title contention. Top contenders “Farmer” Craig Brown (7-3) and Chase Dagenhardt (4-1) were originallly scheduled to fight for the title but due to an injury to Dagenhardt and Brown’s upcoming January fight at Wreck MMA against “Dooms” Jason Day(16-10), the fight has been scrapped. The new main event scheduled to be a five round fight for the TFC’s vacant middleweight belt is now between “Chainsaw” Chad Cox (5-2) taking on Nick Hinchliffe (17-6). A battle between welterweights Sheldon Westcott (4-0) and Cleburn Walker (9-5) and a women’s MMA bout between Sy Jewett (2-0) and Anna Barone (1-2) help shore up the card alongside appearances from Jordan McKay (3-1) and undefeated Rio Wells (3-0).
