"Mark Munoz is a world class wrestler and has trained with Machida in the past, so he'll know his mannerisms and style," Rogan pointed out. "Machida brings a really unique aspect to the middleweight division that hasn't been seen before: his crazy karate game, wild and unpredictable kicking technique, and sniper-like attacks. It's going to be really interesting to see him battle against a guy like Munoz, a top-flight 185er."

The fight card will also feature a lightweight contest between England's own Ross Pearson and Melvin Guillard, as well as a host of local talent and UFC up-and-comers. Check out the full fight card below and check back this weekend for results from the fights.
