("Tough loss against CB." "Yeah. How’s your leg doing?"

The card for UFC 124 is filling in nicely with the addition of four fights reported by various sources today.

MMAFighting reports that Jason MacDonald will return to action following one of the most gruesome leg-break injuries in UFC history he incurred in his UFC 113 bout seven months ago in Montreal against John Salter.

MacDonald (24-14), who is on his second go-around in the UFC will be looking to make this stay in the Octagon a permanent one when he takes on Gracie jiu-jitsu black belt,  Rafael Natal (12-3) who lost by decision in his Octagon debut against Rich Attonito at UFN 22 in September.

Also on the card, according to MMAJunkie and MMADiehards will be MacDonald’s fellow Canadians Joe Doerksen and TJ Grant who will take on Dan Miller and Ricardo Almeida, respectively.

Sometimes when the UFC holds an event in a new city, it relies heavily on brand recognition alone to sell tickets. After all, if you live in Jerkwater, USA and the UFC finally shows up with a Fight Night event at your local civic center, you’re probably going to go just to say you were there, even if there are no major stars in the lineup.

That couldn’t be further from the truth in the case of Boston and UFC 118. Not only is a large market that only recently opened up to MMA, it’s also a place near and dear to Dana White’s heart. Boston doesn’t get a couple of TUF contestants sandwiched between local boys. Boston gets the full UFC treatment. Boston gets a title fight, a sideshow match-up, and a number one contender bout.

But, as always, just as there are stars so too must there be drifting detritus. Half the guys on every fight card go home sad, and those who go home sad too often in the UFC don’t get to come back. Let’s break down Saturday night’s lineup to see who desperately needs a win this time around.
