Although UFC officials previously announced November’s UFC 122 event during a recent “Ultimate Insider” episode, today’s official press release adds a level of relevance to the night’s headliner.
UFC 122, which takes place Nov. 13 at Konig Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen, Germany, features a middleweight headliner between Vitor Belfort and Yushin Okami.
And following top contender Chael Sonnen’s failed UFC 117 drug test, the UFC 122 headliner becomes all the more meaningful now that the winner has been promised a middleweight title shot.
