It appears that the UFC is planning an action-packed August. The rumored UFC on Versus event in Milwaukee on August 14th, which will follow UFC 133 on August 6th, and precede UFC: Rio on August 27th, has taken a step closer to reality with the promotion announcing two fights for that card today.
In welterweight action, two of the promotion’s most technical strikers will square off when Amir Sadollah faces Duane “Bang” Ludwig, a fight that was originally supposed to take place at UFN 24 before Ludwig suffered an injury.
