The UFC is targeting a March 2010 date for welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre’s title defense with No. 1 contender Dan Hardy, a source with knowledge of the situation told FanHouse.
Once formally agreed to by both sides, the matchup would likely be the main event of UFC 111, which is expected to take place at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
Hardy vaulted into the title picture with a string of four straight wins in the UFC, most recently defeating Mike Swick in a No. 1 contenders match at UFC 105 earlier this month.
The fight between the two had been rumored for Australia’s UFC 110 event, but now it appears that New Jersey is the likely destination.
