The UFC’s first flyweight title finally will be decided in September, as will a new rivalry between a pair of middleweights who have been itching to fight each other.
Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson will meet for the 125-pound championship and Brian Stann will take on Michael Bisping when the UFC returns to Toronto for UFC 152. UFC officials on Friday announced the fights, which first were reported by Joe Ferraro of Canada’s SportsNet.
UFC 152 takes place Sept. 22 at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.
