UFC Fight Night: Rockhold vs. Branch fight card shaping up

Check out the current fight card for UFC Fight Night 116: Rockhold vs. Branch in Pittsburgh.

The UFC is making a return to Pittsburgh with a Fight Night event on September 16th, but it’s going to face some stiff competition. Despite all of the talk surrounding the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor boxing match, another gigantic boxing event is going down just three weeks after that – Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez is fighting Gennady Golovkin on the same night as this UFC show. Needless to say, viewership might be down for this one.

To be fair though, the UFC has put together a card that is likely to feature a lot of action. The headliner will see former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold making his long-awaited return. He’ll face off with former WSOF champ David Branch.

The co-headliner will see veteran Thiago Alves meeting rising prospect Mike Perry. Also likely featured on the main card will be Hector Lombard, Uriah Hall, and Kamaru Usman.

Here’s the current card, with the bout order not set as of yet:

Luke Rockhold vs. David Branch

Thiago Alves vs. Mike Perry

Hector Lombard vs. Anthony Smith

Anthony Hamilton vs. Daniel Spitz

Uriah Hall vs. Krzysztof Jotko

Sergio Moraes vs. Kamaru Usman

Justin Ledet vs. Dmitriy Sosnovskiy

Gilbert Burns vs. Jason Saggo

Gregor Gillespie vs. Jason Gonzalez

Luke Sanders vs. Felipe Arantes
