UFC 92 Fight Card Shaping Up
Date submitted: 02 October 2008

As recently as Monday, UFC president Dana White said there were "lots of moving parts" as he tried to complete the company's end-of-year fight cards.

 

On Wednesday, he at least got the top three fights of UFC 92 finalized.

 

The co-main events will feature the interim heavyweight title match between champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Frank Mir. Forrest Griffin will defend the light heavyweight title against Rashad Evans and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson will meet Wanderlei Silva, who defeated him twice when they fought in PRIDE.

 

The Jackson-Silva card had been considered for UFC 91: Couture vs Lesnar, when the card was slated to be in Portland, Ore., as well for UFC 94: St Pierre vs Penn 2, which will be Jan. 31 in Las Vegas.

 

But White said he wanted to "stack" the UFC's traditional New Year's Eve weekend card and managed to do so by putting four of the company's most popular fighters on the card.

 

The UFC has officially moved the fight card across Las Vegas Blvd. from Mandalay Bay to the MGM Grand Garden.

 

Jackson will be fighting for the first time since losing the light heavyweight belt to Griffin at UFC 86: Jackson vs Griffin on July 5 and a bizarre traffic incident on July 15 in suburban Los Angeles. Jackson was driving on the wrong side of the road and on sidewalks and fled even while being chased by police.

 

He was charged with two felonies and three misdemeanors and has pled not guilty. He has a Nov. 3 court appearance scheduled.

 

White has said no drugs or alcohol were involved and that Jackson's actions were fueled by "delirium" caused by days of little sleep, little food and water and excessive intake of energy drinks.

 

The latest rumored UFC 92 card now features:

 

Champ Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs Frank Mir (for interim UFC heavyweight title)

Champ Forrest Griffin vs Rashad Evans (for UFC light heavyweight title)

Quinton Jackson vs Wanderlei Silva

CB Dollaway vs Jorge Rivera

Dean Lister vs Yushin Okami

Mustapha al Turk vs Cheick Kongo

Brad Blackburn vs Ryo Chonan

Ivan Serati vs TBA
