- The UFC's return to Australia later this year as a headline act, as former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold takes on Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza in a title-eliminator. The card, UFC Fight Night 101, takes place November 27 from the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne and airs on FOX Sports 1.

Rockhold (15-3) suffered his first loss in three years when he was knocked out by Michael Bisping in June. The defeat cost Rockhold, a former Strikeforce champion, the UFC belt.

Souza (23-4) will be getting his rematch with Rockhold, as the two met in 2011 when the Brazilian held the Strikeforce middleweight title. After the decision loss, Souza reeled off eight straight wins before a decision defeat to Yoel Romero. He rebounded in May by finishing Vitor Belfort.
