On Saturday, August 4, 2012, UFC will return to network television as UFC on FOX airs live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. In the main event, former Light Heavyweight champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua will square off against versatile veteran Brandon “The Truth” Vera. While both of these guys have had mixed results recently, they are both very aggressive fighters with fight-ending power in their strikes, which means that, if nothing else, this should be an exciting and hard-fought main event.

In the semi-main event, another former Light Heavyweight champion, Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida, will return to action against heavy-handed young wrestler Ryan “Darth” Bader. Machida has dropped three of his last four, but is still a dangerous and hard-to-catch striker who makes opponents pay for their aggression, while Bader has knockout power and a dominant top control game. The remainder of the card will feature another Light Heavyweight bout pitting Phil “Mr. Wonderful” Davis against undefeated Wagner “Caldeirao” Prado and a Heavyweight matchup between “Big” Ben Rothwell and Travis “Hapa” Browne.
