- TKO Lightweight Champion Sam Stout will return to the octagon to take on 12-2-1 UFC newcomer and rising European mixed martial artist Per Eklund.
- UK natives will also be going head-to-head as 6-0 Paul Kelly makes his UFC debut against fellow countryman and UFC veteran Paul Taylor.
All three bouts will appear on the undercard of the event and are not guaranteed to be broadcast.

i am not interested in any of these fights either
I like Stout although I was disappointed in his performance against Fisher.
If Stout keeps training at Xtreme Couture; then he will be a threat in the Lightweight division, especially if he augments his ground game.
red- agree 100%
stout/ecklund will be a slug fest. looking forward to that one
i thought alessio sakara was dropping down to 185. it would be a good move for him considering how good the lhw division is.
