The next UFC show is set for September 16th in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Former middleweight champion Luke Rockhold fights for the first time since losing his belt to Michael Bisping, as he faces David Branch in the night’s main event. Your co-main is a surefire welterweight thriller between Thiago Alves and Mike Perry.

If there’s one fighter I’d keep a close eye on, it’s Kamaru Usman, who is a rising contender at welterweight. He’ll be fighting Brazilian veteran Sergio Moraes, who is unbeaten in his last seven fights.

Here’s the fight card and bout order for next week. Please note that Dmitriy Sosnovskiy is apparently out of his heavyweight bout vs. Justin Ledet, so a replacement is needed very soon or else Ledet will be pulled from the event.

Main Card (10 PM ET, FS1)

Luke Rockhold vs. David Branch
Thiago Alves vs. Mike Perry
Hector Lombard vs. Anthony Smith
Gregor Gillespie vs. Jason Gonzalez
Sergio Moraes vs. Kamaru Usman

Tony Martin vs. Olivier Aubin-Mercier
Anthony Hamilton vs. Daniel Spitz
Uriah Hall vs. Krzysztof Jotko
