UFC 123 is set to take place at The Palace of Auburn Hills, Michigan and will feature a main event bout between Lyoto Machida and Quinton Jackson. The news was first reported by MMAFighting.com.
Both former champs are coming off losses, with Jackson losing via decision at UFC 114 and Machida losing the light heavyweight title against current champion Mauricio Rua at UFC 113. A win by either fighter would certainly put them into contention for a match up against whoever wins the Rashad Evans vs. Mauricio Rua matchup, especially if Machida takes the bout.
The MMA News will update the story as word comes out.
