BANTAMWEIGHT/MIDDLEWEIGHT FIGHTS ADDED TO UFC 148

By David Tees on 3/19/2012 10:27 PM

Two new fights have been added to this Summer’s UFC 148 card as Michael Bisping battles Tim Boetsch and Renan Barao battles Jeff Hougland. Michael Bisping is coming off of a loss to Chael Sonnen at UFC On Fox II, while Tim Boetsch defeated Yushin Okami at UFC 144. Renan Barao has been undefeated thus far in the UFC and could be nearing a title shot, while Jeff Hougland is coming off of a win over Donny Walker in his UFC debut. There is no word yet on the placement of these fights on the card, but both could very well be part of the pay-per-view broadcast. UFC 148 takes place on July 7th and it takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada and it is expected to be headlined by a UFC Bantamweight Title Fight between champion Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber.
