Donald Cerrone vs. Anthony Pettis
With a win over Dennis Siver, Donald Cerrone is now in the hunt for a lightweight title shot.
Fighters like Clay Guida and Ben Henderson are closer to the front of the line for that bout with champion Frankie Edgar, but a matchup between Cerrone and Anthony Pettis could put the winner within one victory of a championship fight.
Hatsu Hioki vs. Bart Palaszewski
Highly-ranked featherweight Hatsu Hioki was unimpressive in his UFC debut, though the Japanese fighter was able to walk away from UFC 137 with a split decision-victory over George Roop.
Cheick Kongo vs. Roy Nelson
Both winners of pivotal matchups at UFC 137, Cheick Kongo and Roy Nelson are looking to make one final run at a heavyweight title shot. Both fighters are in their mid-30s but have remained competitive against the best in the division.
B.J. Penn vs. Gray Maynard
Nick Diaz vs. Georges St. Pierre
