The UFC's final quarterly FOX event of 2012 will take place on December 8, the networked announced on Monday.
A press release did not divulge a location or host venue for the event, but announced that it, along with the upcoming August 4 show, would be accompanied by a one-hour preview special to air on the network.

The December event should come with heavy promotion, coming in the midst of the NFL season. The preview show will be broadcast on Sunday, December 2, airing either before or after NFL games in local markets.

Previous UFC on FOX events this year have came on January 28 and May 5, with ratings ranging from 4.57 million average viewers for the Jan. event headlined by Rashad Evans and Phil Davis, to 2.42 million for the May show with Nate Diaz and Jim Miller in the main event.

The August event will be headlined by Mauricio Rua and Brandon Vera, with other featured matchups including Lyoto Machida vs. Ryan Bader, Ben Rothwell vs. Travis Browne, and Joe Lauzon vs. Terry Etim.

B.J. Penn, Rory MacDonald Discussing Fighting at UFC on FOX 5 in December

By now you know that Rory MacDonald vs. B.J. Penn won't take place at UFC 152, so the question remains: will the welterweights still face off later this year, and if so, when?

According to MacDonald's manager Lex McMahon, talks are underway of having MacDonald vs. Penn headline UFC on FOX 5 on Dec. 8.
"I've been in communication with B.J.'s camp and UFC," McMahon said, "the idea of fighting on the FOX card has been part of these discussions. Our position is that Rory will fight B.J. as soon as he is healed and had a reasonable period to train.

"The possibility of headlining the FOX card in December is attractive as it provides a great platform to showcase the return of B.J. Penn, one of our sport's icons, as well as to introduce the mainstream fans to one of brightest young stars in the form of Rory. At this juncture nothing has been agreed upon, but needless to say Rory and his team would welcome the opportunity to fight B.J. Penn on FOX as the main event."

Nate Quarry mentioned the possibility of the 170-pound fight taking place at UFC on FOX 5 on Thursday's episode of "MMA Uncensored Live."

Over the past week, Penn suggested having the fight on Oct. 13 in Rio de Janeiro, while MacDonald asked for Nov. 17 in Montreal, however, McMahon said he was told those cards are full (as far as the top fights are concerned), which would leave either the FOX card or UFC 155 on Dec. 29 as the only options to host the fight this year.

A venue for UFC on FOX 5 has yet to be officially announced by the promotion. MacDonald pulled out of the fight last week due to a cut sustained in training.

Three Big Fights For UFC On Fox 5: Ben Henderson Vs Nate Diaz, Rory MacDonald Vs B.J. Penn, And Shogun Vs Gustafsson (http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2012/8/15/3243894/ufc-on-fox-5-nate-diaz-ben-henderson-bj-penn-rory-macdonald-alexander-gustafsson-shogun-rua)http://cdn0.sbnation.com/profile_images/599565/DoggyLets_tiny.jpg by Chris Hall (http://www.sbnation.com/users/Chris%20Hall) on Aug 15, 2012 2:58 AM EDT (http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2012/8/15/3243894/ufc-on-fox-5-nate-diaz-ben-henderson-bj-penn-rory-macdonald-alexander-gustafsson-shogun-rua) in UFC News (http://www.bloodyelbow.com/section/ufc-news)

In the wake of their network premier event, the UFC has taken a lot of criticism for the quality and relevancy of their events on Fox. The promotion opened up with a huge debut featuring a single bout between Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122504/cain-velasquez) for theHeavyweight (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/weight_class/heavyweight) title. Since then, the free fight cards have shown decreasingly relevant headliners and supporters. It would seem the UFC has responded to this criticism.
MMA Junkie (http://mmajunkie.com/news/30172/ufc-on-fox-5-gets-henderson-vs-diaz-gustafsson-vs-shogun-penn-vs-macdonald.mma) reports that the UFC has added three big fights to December's UFC On Fox 5 card:
Ben Henderson (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/127864/ben-henderson) (17-2) Vs. Nate Diaz (16-7)
Rory MacDonald (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122584/rory-macdonald) (13-2) Vs. B.J. Penn (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122540/b-j-penn) (16-8-2)
Mauricio Rua (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122520/mauricio-rua) (21-6) Vs. Alexander Gustafsson (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122632/alexander-gustafsson) (14-1)
Without a doubt this would be the biggest event on the Fox network since the Heavyweight title bout. Ben Henderson just defended his title in a somewhat controversial rematch against Frankie Edgar (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122527/frankie-edgar) at UFC 150 (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fight-card/97795/ufc-150-henderson-vs-edgar-ii). Diaz poses huge problems for him, however, with a relentless striking style and extremely threatening submission game. Rory MacDonald and B.J. Penn have combined to add extra drama to their bout by submitting to VADA sponsored drug testing. Even without the supplementary testing Penn will be the most difficult test the young Rory Macdonald has faced so far. To cap it off, the potential contenders match between Rua and Gustafsson is a huge announcement. Rua displayed his immense skill with a 4th round KO of Brandon Vera (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/128667/brandon-vera) on UFC On Fox 4 in an effort to win his way back to a title shot. Rising prospect Gustafsson stands in his path, who has only ever faltered to dominant wrestler Phil Davis (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122509/phil-davis).
All three of these are potentially exciting and very relevant fights to put on a free card. UFC On Fox 5 does not yet have an official venue or location, but it's expected to take place on December 8th.

shogun vs gustafsson? die had ik niet zien aankomen!!!
veel te winnen voor gustafsson / veel te verliezen voor shogun!

hoezo? volgens mij hebben beide vechters alleen iets te winnen, namelijk een titleshot. Gustafsson is echt enorm verbetert en elke keer als die de octagon in komt is die nog vele malen beter als daarvoor. Maar gustafsson heeft wel een aparte maar leuke vechtstijl en shogun is natuurlijk altijd de bom. dit wordt er eentje net zoals eind vorig jaar hendo vs shogun, echt een knaller gaat dit worden, zo zonde dat het maar 3 rondes is. voordeel voor gustaffson denk ik want shogun geeft nooit op en is vaak in de laatste rondes de betere. kon je met name goed zien tegen henderson. ik ga voor Gustafsson in een hele close match-up, split decision ofzo

Waar ik natuurlijk ook heel benieuwd naar ben is de main event, Diaz zag er echt goed uit zijn laatste partijen tegen Cerrone en Miller. het is niet voor niets dat hij na 3 wins al een titleshot krijgt, miller had een winning streak van stuk of 6 a 7 en kreeg geen titleshot. guida ook zoiets en versloeg zelfs pettis en kreeg nog geen titleshot. je zou zeggen dat Diaz hem wel heel snel en makkelijk heeft gekregen... maar ook ik vind verdient ,hij brak de ene na de andere record de laatste 2 partijen. hij is echt met een WAR bezig in 2012. Maar henderson is van een nog betere niveau dan Cerrone en Miller, maar dat was Diaz voor die 2 ook en denk daarom ook dat hij de nieuwe LW champion gaat worden. jammer dat pettis trouwens tegen Cerrone gaat vechten, had hem liever tegen maynard gezien voor een titleshot want pettis vs cerrone zal wel nu title eliminator match worden

UFC on FOX 5 to Be Held in Seattle

UFC on FOX 5 finally has a home.

The event, which will be headlined by Benson Henderson vs. Nathan Diaz for the UFC lightweight title, will take place at KeyArena in Seattle on Dec. 8. The news was first reported on Tuesday's episode of "UFC Tonight" on FUEL TV.

This will mark just the second UFC card hosted by "The Emerald City." The first, UFN 24: Nogueira vs. Davis, took place in March 2011.

This card will serve as another homecoming of sorts for Henderson, who grew up in Federal Way, WA, located just 25 miles away from KeyArena. Henderson's last fight against Frankie Edgar at UFC 150 took place in the state of Colorado, which is where he was born before moving to Federal Way.

Also scheduled for the main card is B.J. Penn vs. Rory MacDonald and Shogun Rua vs. Alexander Gustafsson. More UFC on FOX 5 bouts are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

Michael Chiesa vs. Rafaello Oliveira Highlights Trio of UFC on FOX 5 Announcements
A trio of new fights have been added to UFC on FOX 5.

Surprise TUF: Live winner Michael Chiesa leads the announcements, as "Maverick" will meet Rafaello Oliveira in a lightweight bout on the night's undercard. Featherweights Dennis Siver vs. Eddie Yagin and bantamweights Scott Jorgensen vs. John Albert are also official.

UFC on FOX 5 takes place December 8 at the KeyArena in Seattle, WA. A lightweight championship clash pitting Benson Henderson against Nate Diaz headlines the star-studded main card.


The undefeated Chiesa (8-0) ran to the TUF: Live title on a string of upset victories, capping the season with a first-round submission over Al Iaquinta. He'll now face Oliveira (15-5), who carries a 1-2 record over his last three fights, including a recent decision victory over Yoislandy Izquierdo.

Siver (20-8) and Yagin (16-5-1) were the last displaced members of UFC 151, and they'll still meet, just three months later than expected. Both men are coming off wins, as Siver topped Diego Nunes in his featherweight debut and Yagin upset Mark Hominick at UFC 145.

Lastly, the stakes are markedly higher for both Jorgensen (13-6) and Albert (7-3). Each fighter will look to stop a two-fight losing streak, though Jorgensen, a former WEC title contender, has fallen to much higher competition in losses to Eddie Wineland and Renan Barao.

Yves Edwards to face John Cholish at UFC on FOX 5

Yves Edwards has a new fight. After his scheduled bout at UFC on FX 5 with Jeremy Stephens fell out, UFC President Dana White promised to get the ATT-trained lightweight a new fight. Edwards will now face John Cholish at UFC on FOX 5 on Dec. 8th.

MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani confirmed the news Wednesday with event sources.

The Bahamian fighter was scheduled to face Stephens on the preliminary portion of last Friday's card, but Stephens was arrested the morning of the fight on an outstanding warrant for a 2011 assault committed in Iowa. Attempts by the UFC to free Stephens on Friday to give him enough time to compete were unsuccessful.

Edwards was paid his show money by the UFC and White told the media in attendance Edwards would be given a fight as soon as possible.

Edwards, 36, last fought in December of 2011 where he dropped a unanimous decision to season 13 winner of 'The Ultimate Fighter' Tony Ferguson.

Cholish, 28, most recently competed at UFC on FOX 3 in May of this year where he suffered his first UFC loss at the hands of Danny Castillo. Castillo won the bout via unanimous decision.

Nam Phan's wish has been granted by the UFC.

He will replace injured Eddie Yagin and fight Dennis Siver at UFC on FOX 5 in Seattle on Dec. 8, according to the UFC on Wednesday.

Phan tweeted "if1azn brother falls than another must take his spot. Who wants 2 c me fight Dennis Siver? tweet 2 @ufc & @danawhite lol :)" Tuesday night.

Yagin remains hospitalized with swelling on his brain following a recent training session.

Phan earned a split-decision win over Cole Miller in his last Octagon appearance at UFC on FOX 4 on Aug. 4, 2012.

Dit is voor mij dé kaart van 2012 (samen met condit-gsp). Nate Diaz hopelijk, maar ik vrees dat Henderson zen legkicks hier een stokje (pun intended :p) gaat voorsteken, zoals we al zagen in Cerrone fight is dit Diaz zen achilles heel...
Picks:
Henderson
gustaffson
Rory
Siver

edit: Mike brown vs Swick, Schaub vs johnson staat trouwens ook op deze kaart, worden ook wel knallers! Schaub by KO, als hij niet pal voor LLavar blijft staan...& Swick zal ook wel winnen.
Verder op de kaart is er ook nog Nijem vs Proctor, hier ga ik voor Nijem.

Yves Edwards vs. Jeremy Stephens rebooked for UFC on FOX 5

After their initial meeting was infamously canceled last minute, lightweights Yves Edwards (41-18-1 MMA, 9-6 UFC) and Jeremy Stephens (20-8 MMA, 7-6 UFC) will give it another go at UFC on FOX 5.

As MMAjunkie.com first reported earlier today, Edwards' original opponent, John Cholish (8-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC), recently scratched due to a groin injury.

In his place steps Stephens, whose incarceration canceled their planned bout this past month at UFC on FX 5.

Edwards today tweeted news of the change.

UFC on FOX 5 takes place at Seattle's KeyArena. The main card airs on FOX following prelims on FX and Facebook, and Edwards vs. Edwards is expected to air on the night's FX broadcast.

Stephens' arrest (due to an old warrant) and UFC President Dana White's inability to spring him from a Minneapolis jail on fight day resulted in the bout's late cancellation. Edwards was paid his show money and rebooked to fight Cholish. However, with Stephens now free, he's stepped in as Cholish's replacement to preserve the original booking.

Edwards was on a 4-1 run before a December loss to "The Ultimate Fighter 14" champion Tony Ferguson, which is the well-rounded fighter's most recent bout. The streak included UFC wins over the likes of Rafaello Oliveira (TKO), Cody McKenzie (submission) and John Gunderson (decision).

Stephens most recently came to Edwards' aid when the longtime vet withdrew from UFC on FUEL TV 3, and he posted a losing effort against Donald Cerrone. The setback was the second straight for "Lil Heathen," who previously lost a decision to former WEC champ Anthony Pettis. The hard-hitting veteran's notable victories include knockouts of Rafael dos Anjos and Marcus Davis, as well as a decision victory over Sam Stout.

The full UFC on FOX 5 card now includes:

MAIN CARD (FOX, 8 p.m. ET)
Benson Henderson vs. Nate Diaz (for lightweight title)
Alexander Gustafsson vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua
Rory MacDonald vs. B.J. Penn
Matt Brown vs. Mike Swick

PRELIMINARY CARD
Lavar Johnson vs. Brendan Schaub
Mike Chiesa vs. Marcus LeVesseur
Nam Phan vs. Dennis Siver
Raphael Assuncao vs. Mike Easton
Ramsey Nijem vs. Joe Proctor
Yves Edwards vs. Jeremy Stephens
Daron Cruickshank vs. Henry Martinez
John Albert vs. Scott Jorgensen
Tim Means vs. Abel Trujillo

Lavar Johnson injury also forces Brendan Schaub off UFC on FOX 5 card

Another day, another injury affects an upcoming UFC card.

UFC president Dana White announced Thursday night that Lavar Johnson has pulled out of next week's UFC on FOX 5 fight against Brendan Schaub due to a pulled groin.

White initially told MMAFighting.com that he wasn't sure if Schaub would remain on the Dec. 8 card, however, Schaub's manager Lex McMahon later told MMAFighting.com that the heavyweight will not compete next Saturday night due to the late-notice injury.

"Brendan is very disappointed," McMahon said, "but he is very dedicated and will be back to training. We will see how long Lavar is out and will assess Brendan's options. I'm confident the UFC will get Brendan back in the Octagon soon. "

The Schaub-Johnson tilt was scheduled to air on the FX prelims. No word just yet on which Facebook prelim fight will replace it.
"Frustrated would be an understatement," Schaub tweeted after the news broke. "Back to the gym."

UFC on FOX 5, which will take place at KeyArena in Seatlle, will now feature 12 fights.

Michael Chiesa off UFC on FOX 5 fight card due to illness

Michael Chiesa, the season 15 winner of FX's 'The Ultimate Fighter' (TUF), has been forced off of Saturday's UFC on FOX 5 fight card due to an unnamed "illness". The UFC Tweeted the news early this morning.

Chiesa was originally scheduled to face Rafaello Oliveira, but Oliveira withdrew from the bout due to a broken hand. Standout collegiate wrestler Marcus LeVesseur was tapped as Oliveira's replacement. Due to Chiesa's withdrawal coming so close to fight time, the bout with LeVesseur has been scrapped. It was originally slated to air as a portion of the FX broadcast.

Chiesa is 8-0 in mixed martial arts and 1-0 in the UFC. His only win came in June of this year when he submitted Al Iaquinta in the first round of the show's finale to win the 15th season of TUF. That season, the first to air on FX after 14 previous seasons aired on Spike TV, was also the first and only to air live fights at the end of each program.

Sauna KOs Tim Means, Abel Trujillo now meets Marcus LeVesseur at UFC on FOX 5

If UFC President Dana White's wish that the injury bug finally relents in 2013, the new year can't come soon enough.

The latest proof? Tim Means (18-3-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) slipped in the sauna and has been knocked out of Saturday's UFC on FOX 5 event, and Marcus LeVesseur (22-6 MMA, 1-1 UFC) has stepped in to fight fellow lightweight Abel Trujillo (9-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC).

"The UFC curse strikes again," White tweeted. "Tim Means slips in sauna and KO's himself so now Marcus LeVesseur vs Abel Trujillo."

White didn't give any details on the injury, which likely came during the fighter's weight-cutting for the event.

UFC on FOX 5 takes place at Seattle's KeyArena, and the main card airs FOX. Trujillo-LeVesseur is part of the FX-televised prelims.

Trujillo signed with the UFC earlier this summer on the strength of a four-fight win streak. The "Blackzilian" team member started his career 1-2, and then rattled off four straight wins before a two-fight skid that preceded his current four-fight run.

Means' loss is LeVesseur's gain. The former amateur-wrestling standout was slated to fight Michael Chiesa at UFC on FOX 5 before an illness forced Chiesa off the card this past week. LeVesseur recently rebounded from a UFC-debut loss to Cody McKenzie with a split-decision victory over Carlo Prater at UFC on FX 5. He's now 4-1 in his past five fights.

Gustaffson heeft wel een ontzettende reach voordeel hoeveel scheelt het wel niet? Is hij net zo lang als Jon Jones?

Rory MacDonald pakt BJ Penn, geen twijfel over mogelijk. En Diaz gaat winnen van Henderson, ik twijfelde n beetje, maar Anderson Silva trok me over de streep ahaha. Henderson kan voor geen kloot boksen, dat gaat het verschil maken.

Ik denk dat Penn dit gewoon gaat winnen, gevecht gaat over 3 ronden, en Penn is moeilijk te finishen.
MacDonald mag dan sterker zijn en een geweldige GnP in huis hebben, staand gaat ie het verliezen.

x2,

Shogun zou op basis van kin, low kicks en td's moeten winnen
Verder hoop ik op Diaz en BJ kan mij eigenlijk minder boeien

henderson of diaz om het even, ben een fan geworden van het "diaz stijltje", maar erg benieuwd wat henderson allemaal kan brengen.
Hoop een beetje op een mooie partij van Gustavsson

Ouderwetse Penn hoop ik maar ja
