As we first reported last week the UFC is coming to Memphis in December. It has been confirmed that the main event will be Rampage Jackson vs. Rashad Evans but Jackson in this quick video.

Memphis is Jackson’s hometown and you have to think his fans will turn out and blow the roof off of the Fed Ex Forum.

Two top ten heavyweight contenders will clash at UFC 104 when Cain Velasquez and Shane Carwin collide according to a Sherdog.com report. You have to think that winner of this fight will get the winner of Lesnar and Mir later this year.

Cain Velasquez is on a roll after defeating Cheick Kongo at UFC 99. Velasquez has won 4 straight fights in the UFC and has worked himself into title contention. The American Kickboxing Academy standout had won all of his fights in the first round before winning a unanimous decision against Kongo.

Shane Carwin has yet to get out of the first round in any of his three UFC fights including an impressive knockout of Gabriel Gonzaga in 1:09. Carwin has taken some time off to recover from an injury he sustained at UFC 96 but will look to keep the momentum at UFC 104.
