RICK STORY RETURNS TO ACTION AT UFC ON FOX 3

UFC welterweight Rick Story is finally returning to the cage.
"Back to the grind, Im set up to fight on May 5th as of right now. I dont have an opponent yet, what match up does everyone want to see?" Story announced via his
Twitter. Of course, May 5th is the date for the next UFC on FOX card.
Story (13-5) made waves in 2011 by defeating Thiago Alves via unanimous decision at UFC 130, a fight he was widely expected to lose. Following the victory, Story was considered to be "in the mix" in the welterweight title hunt, and was set to face Nate Marquardt, before he was released. Story then suffered back to back losses to late replacement for Marquardt, Charlie Brenneman and Martin Kampmann via unanimous and split decision, respectively.
