Five added to UFC 72 Card in Belfast
Date submitted: 14 May 2007
Author: Thomas Gerbasi

Five bouts ranging from the lightweight to heavyweight divisions have been signed and added to June 16th’s UFC 72: Victory card in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
 
UFC 72: Victory is headlined by the middleweight matchup between former 185-pound champion Rich Franklin and highly regarded Japanese contender Yushin Okami, as well as the light heavyweight clash between Forrest Griffin and Hector Ramirez.
 
Tickets are on sale now.
 
In main card action, talented Canadian Jason "The Athlete" MacDonald returns to the Octagon and looks to get back on the winning track after a hard-fought defeat at the hands of Franklin when he battles The Ultimate Fighter 3’s Rory "Outburst" Singer, who has made it a habit of getting into ‘fight of the night’ quality bouts during the course of his 2-1 Post-TUf campaign, in a middleweight contest.
 
Also on the pay-per-view portion of the card, lightweights Clay Guida and Tyson Griffin lock horns in a bout many feel has the potential to steal the show on June 16th. At the very least, the winner of the match between these two 155-pounders will make the move from prospect to contender in the division.
 
On the UFC 72 card, the fighting Irish are well represented, with local heroes Colin Robinson(heavyweight) and Steve Lynch (lightweight) making their Octagon debuts against Eddie Sanchez and Dustin Hazelett, respectively. And we can’t forget the two Irish-American heavyweights making the trip across the ocean, as unbeaten Jake O'Brien attempts to keep the momentum going from his upset win over Heath Herring when he faces TUF2’s Tom Murphy.
 
Eight down, one more bout to be added for the UFC’s historic first trip to Belfast.
