BACKGROUND

 

A Middleweight bout between, UFC 12 Heavyweight Tournament Winner, Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Vitor Belfort and KSW 6 Light Heavyweight Tournament Winner, Michal Materla served as the main event.

 

Even with suspension for doping in effect, Vitor Belfort and Chris Leben were selected for this card, as Brazil is not a regulated country and with that the suspensions of the Japanese athletic commission are not valid.

 

Patricio Freire was expected to face Micah Miller. However, Miller was forced to pull out due to a Torn ACL and was replaced by Joe Pearson.
