The Ultimate Fighting Championship has begun lining up bouts for the promotion’s upcoming, September 17th Fight Night card in New Orleans. Today the organization announced that verbal agreements are in place for two middleweight bouts, as Alan Belcher will take on Jason MacDonald (pictured) and Dongi Yang will fight Court McGee.
Belcher (16-6), who is returning from a career threatening eye injury, has not fought since UFC 113 last May, when he tapped out Patrick Cote in the second round with a rear-naked-choke.
MacDonald (25-14) recently returned on April 30th, from a lengthy stint on the DL due to a broken leg, and submitted Ryan Jensen with a first round, triangle-choke at UFC 129.
McGee (13-1) is also coming off a submission win over Jensen, as the former TUF 11 winner caught the veteran with a third round, arm-triangle-choke at UFC 121 last October.
Yang (10-1) last competed at UFC Live 3 in March and stopped Rob Kimmons in the second round with strikes.
UFC Fight Night 25, “Battle on the Bayou”, will be broadcast live on Spike TV. No venue for the event has been confirmed yet.
