Ultimate Fighting Championship officials added three more bouts to their inaugural FOX event (UFC on FOX 1), set for November 12 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
The promotion made the announcement on Tuesday on their website, UFC.com adding a featherweight, middleweight, and heavyweight matchup. Here is what the announcement said:
Next month’s UFC on Fox fight card is filling out, with the addition of three bouts that have been verbally agreed to for the event, UFC president Dana White confirmed today.
Exciting featherweight contenders Mackens Semerzier and Robert Peralta are set to scrap in Anaheim. Semerzier was scheduled to fight Mike Lullo in September, but a last-minute injury sidelined him, and he was replaced by Peralta, who made his successful UFC debut on short notice.
Two of the most powerful wrestlers in the middleweight division will collide in Anaheim as Paul “The Gentleman” Bradley takes on Mike Pierce.
Plus, UFC newcomer Matt Lucas and former heavyweight Aaron Rosa will look to make names for themselves at 205 pounds.
Featherweights Peralta (15-3) and ‘Mack Da Menace’ Semerzier (6-3) both won their Octagon debut in their last fight. Except that Peralta now carries an eight fight win streak into the cage, while Semerzier is 1-3 in his last four, having dropped the three under the WEC banner.
Middleweight ‘The Gentleman’ Bradley (18-3) will look for his first Octagon win after dropping a decision to Rafael Natal at UFC 133 in his debut. While opponent, Pierce looks to get back into the win column after losing a split decision to Johny Hendricks, putting Pierce’s record at 3-1 in his last four.
Heavyweight newcomer ‘Luke Duke’ Lucas (14-2) comes into the UFC with a five fight win streak, all with the Rage in the Cage promotion. He faces ‘Big Red’ Rosa (16-4) who lost his UFC debut in June at UFC 131 to Joey Beltran by third round TKO. That loss ended a four fight win streak for Rosa.
