It’s been a busy day for the UFC’s return to Oregon this fall, and now the card has three more bouts added to the lineup.

According to a report from The Oregonian at OregonLive, a trio of fights are set for UFC Fight Night 96 in Portland: Sergio Pettis (14-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) vs. Louis Smolka (11-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) at flyweight; Nate Marquardt (34-16-2 MMA, 12-9 UFC) vs. Tamdan McCrory (14-4 MMA, 4-4 UFC) at middleweight; and Walt Harris (8-4 MMA, 1-3 UFC) vs. Shamil Abdurakhimov (16-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) at heavyweight.

UFC Fight Night 96 takes place Oct. 1 at Moda Center in Portland. The card will air on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass. The UFC’s most recent trip to Portland was in August 2009 for UFC 102.

Pettis has won back-to-back fights over former flyweight title challenger Chris Cariaso and Chris Kelades by unanimous decision, making him 2-1 since returning to 125 pounds after starting his UFC career at bantamweight, where he went 3-1.

Smolka has won four straight fights since a split-decision loss to Cariaso, including bonus-winning knockouts of Richie Vaculik and Ben Nguyen, the latter of which came at UFC Fight Night 91 earlier this month in South Dakota. Smolka currently is ranked No. 13 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA flyweight rankings; Pettis is an honorable mention selection.

Marquardt will be dealing with a familiar theme of trying to get back in the win column. The former Strikeforce champ and former UFC title challenger has lost six of his past eight fights, starting with his loss to Tarec Saffiedine in Strikeforce’s final event. In that bout, he lost his welterweight title. He came back to the UFC and was knocked out by Jake Ellenberger and Hector Lombard before rebounding with a submission of James Te Huna. After losses to Brad Tavares and Kelvin Gastelum, he upset C.B. Dollaway with a knockout this past December. But at UFC 198, he was knocked out by Thiago Santos. A loss to McCrory could put his UFC career in jeopardy.

McCrory had a layoff of more than five years before he returned to action nearly two years ago for Bellator. There, he shocked Brennan Ward with a 21-second knockout in not only his promotional debut, but his debut at middleweight after fighting his whole career at welterweight. He followed that up with a first-round submission of Jason Butcher at Bellator 134. THen he re-signed with the UFC, where he had gone 3-3 in his first stint before hanging up the gloves. He submitted Josh Samman in the third round at UFC on FOX 17 this past December. But in June, his three-fight winning streak was snapped with a knockout loss to Krzysztof Jotko in Canada.

Harris has won two of his past three fights, both by knockout. After starting his UFC career with back-to-back losses to Jared Rosholt and Nikita Krylov, he was let go and signed with Titan FC, for which he took out D.J. Linderman at Titan FC 28. Then he hooked back up with the UFC, but fell to Soa Palelei. But at UFC 197 earlier this year, he finally got his first UFC win with a first-round TKO of Cody East.

Dagestan’s Abdurakhimov got his first UFC win in February in Pittsburgh when he took a unanimous decision from Anthony Hamilton. Prior to that, after a 15-2 start to his pro career, he signed with the UFC, but lost a first-round TKO to Timothy Johnson at UFC Fight Night 63 in April 2015.

With the additions, the UFC Fight Night 96 lineup now includes:
Joachim Christensen vs. Luis Henrique da Silva
Will Brooks vs. Alex Oliveira
Josh Burkman vs. Bobby Green
Sergio Pettis vs. Louis Smolka
Nate Marquardt vs. Tamdan McCrory
Walt Harris vs. Shamil Abdurakhimov
