Canadian Welterweight TJ Grant (16-3)  will be taking on Kevin “The Fire” Burns (8-3) at UFC 107, scheduled for December 12th at The FedEx forum in Memphis, Tennessee.

Grant, a native of Halifax, Nova Scotia is coming off a loss to Dong-Hyun Kim at UFC 100 and will have his hands full with Burns, a well rounded fighter who boasts a .500 record in the octagon.

“The Fire” is coming off two straight losses; a knockout to Anthony Johnson last December and a unanimous decision loss to Chris Lytle in June. Burns may be on treading on thin ice vs the Canadian and another loss in the UFC could see him cut from the organization.

Both fighters are notorious for putting on great performances so fans can rest assured that they will see an action packed fight, one with two athletes who always move forward and barely ever retreat.

UFC 107 will be headlined by a lightweight title fight as champion BJ “The Prodigy” Penn will take on “The Nightmare” Diego Sanchez.

Other rumored bouts include:

Heavyweights Frank Mir vs Cheick Kongo
Lightweights Kenny Florian vs Clay Guida
Welterweights Thiago Alves vs Paulo Thiago
Middleweights Alan Belcher vs Wilson Gouveia.

“MMA CONNECTED” Mon, Tues and Thurs at 11:30pm.
