Three Undercard Bouts Added to UFC 66 Lineup
Four UFC heavyweights will look to move up the ladder towards a shot at champion Tim Sylvia when they face off in UFC 66 preliminary bouts at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on December 30.
Unbeaten Carmelo Marrero, who made a huge impact on the UFC scene in October when he upset France’s Cheick Kongo, returns to the Octagon to take on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace Gabriel Gonzaga, who will be looking for his third consecutive UFC win without a defeat.
Two mixed martial artists looking for their first Octagon win on December 30 will be Australia’s Anthony Perosh and ‘The Hungarian Nightmare’ Christian Wellisch, who will lock horns in another heavyweight matchup.
Also added to the UFC 66 card - which is headlined by the long awaited rematch between UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz - is a compelling welterweight war between veteran Tony DeSouza and hard-hitting Brazilian Thiago Alves.
