The UFC’s end of year event is quickly shaping up to be one of its best cards all year.
A tantalizing middleweight fight between Alan Belcher and Yushin Okami has been added to the card which features the heavyweight championship rematch between Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez.
MMA Junkie reports that the two middleweights will join Phil Davis v Forrest Griffin, Tim Boetsch v Chris Weidman and Joe Lauzon v Gray Maynard at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas, on 29 December.
Belcher and Weidman have both been hotly tipped for title contention earlier this year after beating Rousimar Palhares and Mark Munoz respectively.
However, the state of the title race is a complete mystery at the moment as champion Anderson Silva considers a long absence from the cage.
No opponent has been lined up for the long-serving Brazilian champion, and even Michael Bisping believes he deserves to fight for the belt if he gets past Vitor Belfort in January in Brazil.
UFC 155 will be Belcher’s second fight against Okami after losing to the Japanese fighter all the way back in 2006.
MMA Junkie also reports that that the event will see the return of Chris Leben after a year long suspension. He will face Karlos Vemola on the undercard.
