Said UFC President Dana White, “Lightweights coming off of impressive wins face off in Vegas as Matt Wiman and Dennis Siver have verbally agreed to fight July 2nd.”

Reports of The Prodigy's retirement have been greatly exaggerated: Dana White confirmed today that BJ Penn and Jon Fitch have verbally agreed to rematch at UFC 132.

The welterweights first met in the main event of UFC 127, a number-one contender bout that ended in a draw. "Both fighters look to keep it out of the hands of the judges this time," said White.

Brown/Attonito, Cerrone/Danzig, Roller/Guillard updated March 14
The TUF 13 fight card got a new welterweight addition on Monday: UFC president Dana White announced that Matt Brown and Rich Attonito had verbally agreed to meet. Brown starred on the seventh season of The Ultimate Fighter; Attonito on the 11th.

Three thrilling lightweight bouts have been added to the summer lineup featuring TUF stars pitted against WEC favorites who've had success so far in the UFC.

“Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone and TUF 6 winner Mac Danzig have verbally agreed to meet in what should by a non-stop action fight at UFC 131 in Vancouver,” said White. He also confirmed a bout between two UFC veterans on that same card: "Yves Edwards VS Sam Stout, a matchup of top lightweight strikers has been verbally agreed to."

Two wrestlers with knockout power collide in Las Vegas as Shane Roller and Melvin Guillard have verbally agreed to fight at UFC 132. "Both of these guys are coming off of Knockout of the Night winning performances," added White.


Bantamweights Take Vegas updated March 12th:
The bantamweights will be out in force in Las Vegas this spring, as three intriguing 135-pound matchups have been verbally agreed to for the UFC 130 card on May 28th and the Ultimate Fighter 13 finale event on June 4th.

At UFC 130, which takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, two of the division’s top rising stars will meet when speedster Demetrious Johnson takes on Brazilian phenom Renan Barao. Johnson is coming off a career-best win over Kid Yamamoto at UFC 126, and Barao’s stellar win streak, which includes back-to-back WEC victories, speaks for itself.

“One of the fastest men in the sport, Demetrious Johnson, and Renan Barao, with an incredible 27 fight unbeaten streak, have both verbally agreed to fight at UFC 130 on May 28th in Las Vegas,” said UFC President Dana White.

Also on the UFC 130 card, Japanese star Yamamoto returns in search of his first UFC win when he faces off against Chris Cariaso.

A week later, at The Pearl at The Palms, the bantamweight fest continues with exciting strikers Reuben Duran and Francisco Rivera squaring off against each other in an all-California turf war on the TUF13 finale card.
