Two more bouts have been added to the upcoming UFC 166 card that will be held on October 19th in Houston. Lightweight’s George Sotiropoulos and K.J. Noons will come to blows, and Brazilian heavyweight Gabriel Gonzaga, will take on American Shawn Jordan.

Australian Sotiropoulos will look to bounce back from 3 consecutive defeats the last of which came against the UK’s own Ross “The Real Deal” Pearson and in Noons, Sotiropoulos faces a man who has also lost three fights in a row so this encounter will probably see the loser cut from the world’s leading MMA promotion.

Jackson mixed martial arts representative Jordan has been on a good run of form of late winning three of his past four fights, but meets a man in Gonzaga who has also put together a winning run of late, having won four of his past five fights.

The main event of this card will see the rubber match between UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez defending his heavyweight title against Junior dos Santos in the main event.

Cain Velasquez vs. Junior dos Santos


Daniel Cormier vs. Roy Nelson


Gilbert Melendez vs. Diego Sanchez


Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Shawn Jordan


Luke Rockhold vs. Tim Boetsch
